1. 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.

2. To make thy heart his lowly throne

thy Saviour God in love draws nigh;

he gives himself unto his own,

for whom he once came down to die.

3. He pleads before the mercy-seat;

he pleads with God; he pleads for thee;

he gives thee bread from heaven to eat,

his flesh and blood in mystery.

4. 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.
