Be Still My Soul For God Is Near { Be Still My Soul For God Is Near ANGELUS-Georg Joseph (arr. Cantica Spiritualia, 1 847) Be Still, My Soul! For God Is Near! } 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 Saviour 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- O blend my pleading prayer with Thine; To Thee I give myself-my all, And feed on Thee and make Thee mine.
