TRINITYWOMEN: News You Can Use - September 2015
Welcome to September! This month brings with it the last major holiday of the summer, Labor Day, a new school year and the wonderfully fresh smell of autumn. While transitions can be challenging, whether it's a season of the year or a season of life, we have the assurance that our faithful, loving God is with us, no matter what the winds of change bring.
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.
Katharina A. von Schlegel, 1752
