Be still, my soul!
for God is near!
The great High Priest
is with thee now;
The Lord of life
Himself is near,
Before Whose
face the angels bow.
To make thy heart
His lowly throne
Thy Savior God
in love draws nigh;
He gives Himself
unto His own,
For whom He once
came down to die.
He pleads before
the mercy-seat;
He pleads with God,
He pleads for thee;
He gives thee bread
from Heav’n to eat,
His flesh and blood
in mystery.
I come, O Lord!
for Thou dost call—
To blend my pleading
prayer with Thine;
To Thee I give myself—my all,
And feed on Thee
and make Thee mine.
