WHO WROTE THE STORY OF MY LIFE SONG FREE

Borthwick (1813-1897), a member of the Free Church of Scotland. The hymn comes to us via a translation by Jane L. Katharina von Schlegel is thought to be the leading female hymn writer of this period. Though not a hymn writer himself, he inspired a revival in German hymnody characterized by faithfulness to Scripture, personal experience, and deep emotional expression. Philipp Jacob Spener (1635-1705) led the German pietistic movement. This text appears at the time of German pietism, similar in spirit in many regards to the Wesleyan revival in England of the same era. We know her as the author of 'Stille, mein Wille dein Jesus hilft siegen' published in a collection entitled Neue Sammlung geistlicher Lieder ( A new collection of spiritual songs) in 1752, one of several of her texts included there. Some hymnologists suggest that she may have become a Lutheran nun. Other than that she was connected with a small court at KГ¶then, north of Halle, in Germany, little is known of her life. As her name suggests, she may have come from an aristocratic family. Katharina Amalia Dorothea von Schlegel was born in 1697. Little is known about the author of this hymn. The formation of 'Be Still, My Soul' as it appears in our hymnal covers three countries вЂ“ Germany, Scotland, and Finland вЂ“ and well over 100 years. Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. In every change God faithful will remain.Д«e still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend

'Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.Д«ear patiently the cross of grief and pain
