Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him. -Psalm 37:7 

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! -Psalm 46:10

The old hymn: Be Still My Soul 
words by Ka­tha­ri­na A. von Schle­gel, 1752 trans by Jane L. Borth­wick, 1855 

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.
