Be Still My Child

In the midst of grief, I will comfort you
I will bind up the wounds of your broken heart
Your past is forgiven, behold thou art new
I’ll abide with thee and never shall part

Chorus:
Be still my child, I am your God
I’ll be your strength, I’ll be your song,
Be still my child, I am your God
Hold to my hand, I’ll not let you fall.

In the raging battles I’ll be your shield
I will teach and counsel the way you must go
Lift up your voice, I will hear your plea
The seeds of fruitfulness in you I will sew

I will be your guide through the trials of life
I’ll lift you up from the depths of the sea
Humble yourselves, for the righteous shall thrive
My word remains in you, so remain in me.
