A Message of Hope (turn off D's grooves - it's annoying)

This special melody kept popping into my head this week,

I would hear it oft times, by a solo instrument, by a symphony, by the MoTab, by myself...

it took me a few days to pull the book from the shelf and recite the words along with the melody,

What a "Tender Mercy" - to find this message:

Be still, my soul;

The Lord is on thy side;

With patience bear thy 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

Thru 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 hastning 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.
