Eine kleine Blogmusik

I hope you weren't expecting Mozart...  :)

The song below has been a source of comfort for me, especially on the hard days when the sadness of IF feels extra heavy (like CD1 yesterday, for example).  I randomly found it one day a few months ago among DH's music collection and was surprised I had never listened to the CD before.  Listening to it makes me long for Heaven.  :)

Be Still My Soul - Jean Sibelius

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
From His own fullness all He takes away.

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 and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

(I took some creative liberties with the post title; it means "a little blog music.")
