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 heavenly Friend Through 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: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale 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. 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 blessèd we shall meet at last. 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 divine Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.

My God, my God, O why have you forsaken me? O why are you so far from giving help and from my groaning cry? By day and night, my God, I call; your answer still delays. And yet you are the Holy One who dwells in Israel's praise. Our fathers put their trust in you; from you their rescue came. They begged you and you set them free; they were not put to shame. But as for me, I am a worm and not a man at all. To men I am despised and base; their scornings on me fall. \All those who look at me will laugh and cast reproach at me. Their mouths they open wide; they wag their heads in mockery: "The Lord was his reliance once; now see what God will send. Yes, let God rise and set him free, this man that was his friend." You took me from my mother's womb to safety at the breast. Since birth when I was cast on you, in you, my God, I rest. When I proclaim my praise of you, then all the church will hear, and I will pay my vows in full where men hold him in fear.

Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain; Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calv'ry's mountain. Refrain: In the cross, in the cross Be my glory ever, Till my ransomed soul shall find Rest beyond the river. Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the Bright and Morning Star Shed His beams around me. Near the cross! O lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day With its shadow o'er me. Near the cross! I'll watch and wait, Hoping, trusting ever; Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river.

Who is He in yonder stall, At whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is He in deep distress, Fasting in the wilderness? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all! Who is he the people bless For His words of gentleness? Who is he to whom they bring all the sick and sorrowing? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all! Who is He that stands and weeps At the grave where Laz'rus sleeps? Who is He the gath'ring throng Greet with loud triumphant song? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all! Lo! at midnight, who is He Prays in dark Gethsemane? Who is he on yonder tree, Dies in grief and agony? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all! Who is he that from the grave Comes to heal and help and save? Who is he that from His throne Rules thro' all the world alone? 'Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! 'Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, Crown Him! crown Him Lord of all!

Into the heart of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Seeking to know the reason Why He should love me so - Why He should stoop to lift me Up from the miry clay, Saving my soul, making me whole, Tho I had wandered away. Into the will of Jesus, Deeper and deeper I go, Praying for grace to follow, Seeking His way to know; Bowing in full surrender Low at His blessed feet, Bidding Him take, break me and make, Till I am molded and meet. Into the cross of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Following thru the garden, Facing the dreaded foe; Drinking the cup of sorrow - Sobbing with broken heart, "O Savior, help! dear Savior, help! Grace for my weakness impart." Into the joy of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Rising, with soul enraptured, Far from the world below; Joy in the place of sorrow, Peace in the midst of pain, Jesus will give, Jesus will give - He will uphold and sustain. Into the love of Jesus Deeper and deeper I go, Praising the One who brought me Out of my sin and woe; And thru eternal ages Gratefully I shall sing, "O how He loved! O how He loved! Jesus, my Lord and my King!"

O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the works thy hand hath made, I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed; Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: how great thou art, how great thou art! Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to thee: how great thou art, how great thou art! When through the woods and forest glades I wander, I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze; And when I think that God, his Son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in, that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin; When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, "My God, how great thou art!"

Break thou the bread of life, dear Lord, to me, as thou didst break the loaves beside the sea; throughout the sacred page I seek thee, Lord, my spirit pants for thee, O living Word. Bless thou the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me, as thou didst bless the bread by Galilee; then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall; and I shall find my peace, my All in all. Thou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, to me, thy holy Word the truth that saveth me; give me to eat and live with thee above; teach me to love thy truth, for thou art love. O send thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me, that he may touch mine eyes, and make me see: show me the truth concealed within thy Word, and in thy Book revealed I see the Lord.

There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains: Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away: Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more: Be saved, to sin no more, Be saved, to sin no more; Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die: And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die; Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save: I'll sing Thy pow'r to save, I'll sing Thy pow'r to save; then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word; tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard. Tell how the angels, in chorus, sang as they welcomed His birth, "Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth." Refrain: Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word; tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard. Fasting alone in the desert, tell of the days that are past; how for our sins He was tempted, yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of His labor, tell of the sorrow He bore; He was despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor. Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, writhing in anguish and pain; tell of the grave where they laid Him, tell how He liveth again. Love in that story so tender, clearer than ever I see: stay, let me weep while you whisper, love paid the ransom for me.
