Text

Be still, my soul, be still;
Earth and high heaven are fixt of old and founded strong.
Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation-
Why did I awake? when shall I sleep again?
