For Robin....

“Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
with patience bear thy cross of grief and pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change he faithful will remain.

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 as 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 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 the tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.”
