       "Like an ant on a stick both ends of which are burning,
	   I go to and fro without knowing what to do,
	      and in great despair.
	Like the inescapable shadow that follows me,
	   the dead weight of sin haunts me.
	Graciously look upon me.
	Thy love is my refuge.		Amen."
				--United Methodist Hymnal, #535

	"Be still, my soul:  the Lord is on your side.
	Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
	leave to your God to order and provide;
	in every change God faithful will remain.
	Be still my soul:  your best, your heavenly friend
	through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

	"Be still, my soul:  your God will undertake
	to guide the future, as in ages past.
	Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
	all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
	Be still my soul:  the waves and winds still know
	the Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below."
