Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake to guide the future surely as 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. 3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening 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.

Psalm XXVII

Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 First Line: The Lord, my Saviour, is my light Lyrics: I. The Lord, my Saviour, is my light; What terrors can my soul affright? While God my strength, my life is near, What potent arm shall make me fear? II. When cruel foes, the sons of strife, Came furious to devour my life; Their vile designs at once o'erthrown, Confess'd the pow'r that cast them down. III. Should num'rous hosts besiege me round, My steadfast heart no fear shall wound: Tho' war should rise in dread array, God is my strength, my hope, my stay. IV. This only boon my heart desires, For this my ardent wish aspires, This will I seek with restless care, Till God attend my humble pray'r: V. In his own house to spend my days, My life devoted to his praise; There would my soul his beauties trace, And learn the wonders of his grace. VI. When troubles rise, my guardian God Will hide me safe in his abode! Firm as a rock my hope shall stand, Sustain'd by his almighty hand. VII. Now shall my head exalted rise Above surrounding enemies; While my glad off'rings to the Lord, With grateful songs, his praise record. VIII. Thou sacred spring of all my joys, Whene'er I raise my plaintive voice, O let thy sov'reign mercy hear, And answer all my humble pray'r. IX. When thou with condescending grace Has bid me seek thy smiling face, My heart replied to thy kind word, Thee will I seek, all-gracious Lord. X. Hide not from me thy blissful ray, Nor angry frown my hopes away; Thy saving help has still been near, God of my life, renew thy care. XI. Should ev'ry earthly friend depart, And nature leave a parent's heart; My God, on whom my hopes depend, Will be my father and my friend. XII. O teach me, Lord, thy sacred way, Uphold my steps, nor let me stray; While enemies and fears alarm, Extend thy kind, thy guardian arm. XIII. Leave not my life to impious foes, Whose rage no sense of justice knows; Against my innocence they rise, And breathe out cruelty and lies. [p.153] XIV. My hope was ready to depart, But faith sustain'd my fainting heart; I trusted in a gracious God, And live to spread his praise abroad. XV. Ye humble souls, in ev'ry strait On God with sacred courage wait; His hand shall life and strength afford, O wait continual on the Lord.

Whom should I fear, since God to me

Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 Lyrics: 1 Whom should I fear, since God to me is saving Health and Light? Since strongly he my Life supports, what can my Soul affright? 2 With fierce Intent my Flesh to tear, when Foes beset me round, They stumbled, and their haughty Crests were made to strike the Ground. 3 Thro' him, my Heart, undaunted, dares with num'rous Hosts to cope; Thro' him in doubtful Streights of War for good Success I hope. 4 Henceforth within his house to dwell I earnestly desire; His wond'rous Beauty there to view, and His blest Will inquire. 5 For there may I with comfort rest, in Times of deep distress; And safe as on a Rock abide in that secure Recess: 6 Whilst God o'er all my haughty Foes my lofty Head shall raise; And I my joyful Off'ring bring, and sing glad Songs of Praise. Part II 7 Continue, Lord, to hear my Voice, whene'er to Thee I cry; In Mercy all my Pray'rs receive, nor my Request deny. 8 When us to seek thy glorious Face Thou kindly dost advise; "Thy glorious Face I'll always seek," my grateful Heart replies. 9 Then hide not Thou thy Face, O Lord, nor me in Wrath reject: My God and Saviour, leave not him thou didst so oft protect. 10 Tho' all my Friends, and nearest Kin, their helpless Charge forsake; Yet Thou, whose Love excels them all, wilt Care and Pity take. 11 Instruct me in thy Paths, O Lord; my Ways directly guide; Lest envious Men, who watch my Steps, should see me tread aside. 12 Lord, disappoint my cruel Foes; defeat their ill Desire, Whose lying Lips, and bloody Hands, against my Peace conspire. 13 I trusted that my future Life should with thy Love be crown'd; Or else my fainting soul had sunk, with Sorrow compass'd round. 14 God's Time with patient Faith expect, and He'll inspire thy Breast With inward Strength: Do thou thy Part, and leave to Him the rest.

Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 27 First Line: The Lord Almighty is my light Lyrics: 1 The Lord Almighty is my light, He is my Saviour ever near, And, since my strength is in His might Who can distress me or affright? What evil shall I fear? 2 O Lord, regard me when I cry, In mercy hear me when I speak; Thou bidst me seek Thy face, and I, O Lord, with willing heart reply, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. 3 Hide not Thy face afar from me, For Thou a lone canst help afford; O cast me not away from Thee Nor let my soul forsaken be, My Saviour and my Lord. 4 Though earthly friends no pity take, Yet Thy compassion knows no end; E'en tho' my father shall forsake, E'en tho' my mother's love shall break, The Lord will be my friend. 5 My heart had failed in fear and woe Unless in God I had believed, Assured that He would mercy show And that my life His grace should know, Nor was my hope deceived. 6 Fear not, though succor be delayed, Still wait for God, and He will hear; Be strong, nor be thy heart dismayed, Wait, and the Lord shall bring thee aid, Yea, trust and never fear.
