This hymn has a special ministry to
hurting, anxious people.
It is a lullaby for adults,
with a melody adapted from a favorite classical piece,
“Traumerei,” by Robert Schumann.
Be still, my child, be still.
You are mine. I am yours. I am with you.
Be still, my child, be still.
Why your grasping, your wanting, your worry?
No fear and no pride.
All you need I provide.
Be content, and
Be still, my child, be still.
Simply rest. You are loved. I am watching.
Be still, my child, be still.
I am here. You can sleep. I will hold you.
No fear by my side.
All you need I provide.
Be content, and
Be still, my child, be still.
You are mine. I am yours. I am with you.
Be still.
Be still.
Be still.
