Be Still My Child

This is a simple, lovely prayer in times when consolation is needed from Michael Herry. It is based on Luke 10:38-42 and he recommends it for the 16th week in Ordinary Time.

He set it to FINLANDIA and I was just going to use my previous version of that tune but his chords are better so I redid it. The sheet music is free at Marist Music.

Be still my child, and know I walk beside you.

Be still my child, and know my love for you.

Here at my feet, be still and humbly listen,

And in God’s time, all things will be complete.

Here at my feet, breathe deeply of my Spirit,

And come to know I’m ever by your side.
