The Subject At Hand

Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn by Kathrina von Schlegel, Be Still My Soul; she wrote it in 1752, and it was translated by Jane Borthwick in 1855.

If you don't know how the tune goes, follow the links I'll leave down below to find the tune.

Now, on with the show!

       The Lyrics

Verse 1 

Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;

Bear patiently the cross of pain or grief.

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 

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Verse 2 

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.

Verse 3 

Be still, my soul; when dearest friends depart,

And all is darkened in the veil of tears,

Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,

Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.

Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay

From His own fullness all He takes away.

Verse 4 

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 when change and tears are past, 

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Verse 5

Be still, my soul; begin the song of praise

On Earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;

Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways, 

So shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye.

Be still, my soul; the Sun of life devine

Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.

Snow and woods

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...
