Be Still My Soul ~ My memory hymn for the month of November. The Lord keeps bringing me to this; Be still, my soul. At our church we sing the following three verses so these will be the ones I will use for memory work.
Be Still, My Soul
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heav'nly friend
Thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be Still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
Once again I am blessed by being here, Theresa. I am always learning something (or reviewing something that I knew but need to be reminded of) when I stop in.
ReplyDeleteWhy has it never occurred to me to memorize a hymn a month before? I love this idea! And Be Still My Soul is such a beautiful hymn...both in melody and in lyrics.
Have a wonderful day, my friend.
I'm so glad you were blessed, Dianna. <3 We have a memory hymn each month at church but I like to do my own. I print it out and keep one copy in my prayer notebook and then also on the wall by my mirror in the bathroom. When I dry my hair I can sing and no one but the Lord hears me. :)
