Be Still My Soul - as I Search

Once again, the hymns from this morning's worship service seem divinely focused on aspects of our sabbatical search.  Consider the following:
​


Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side; 
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; 
Leave to your God to order and provide; 
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heav’nly Friend 
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 

Be still my soul: your God will undertake 
To guide the future as He has the past. 
Your hope, your 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.

What better words could there be for us when in the midst of a God-given Sabbatical!   I pray that your soul responds to these inspired words as has mine.  I could not sing them without tearing up!
