BE STILL MY SOUL TO HEAR THE CALL

Be still my soul to hear the call that's coming. 
Bear patiently the grief and pain of life.
Cling to the hope that love has won the battle, 
that evil will not triumph o'er the strife.
Be still my soul the shadows now grow longer, 
cling to the hope that death will bring new life.

Open your heart and listen in the silence, 
wait quietly to hear the word of God.
The one who spoke to Moses and through prophets 
is sure to know the way that we must go.
Be still my soul and summon up the courage, 
to love the truth that's greater than we know.

Our lives are like the flowers in the meadow, 
so fair and lovely and so quickly gone.
But in the souls of all those we have known, 
our love like seeds has taken root and grown.
Be still my soul and do not fear the cold wind, 
for it will bring a new outburst of spring.

Where are you now, O God of love?
