does anyone know the author of this hymn please?
many thanks.

Anne Scott nee Conway written when she was Sr Jude at the Ursuline Convent School, Brentwood, Essex, UK.
This is published by Kevin Mayhew along with others written by her.

This hymn was written by Anne Conway and features in the Catholic Hymnal. At the time that she wrote it she was known to us as Sister Jude - later headmistress of the Ursuline Convent School, Brentwood, Essex.

Grateful thanks for enlightening me ! Our son suffered mental illness years ago & that Hymn was my mantra - especially the line
"The stars shine only in darkness ".
He lives independently now & has had a job for a decade .
The force & energy of prayer knows no limits .
Catholic Mother .

Not sure. It could be a misprint. My melody and guitar edition of Hymns Old & New has 'world', but the word Lord at the end of the second line would seem to indicate that it should be 'word'.

Isn't it ' I leave with you my Word?'

Isn't it ' I leave with you my Word?' )

Hi Guest,

I think this is what you're looking for:

OFFERTORY HYMN
1.
Be still, and know I am with you,
Be still, I am the Lord.
I will not leave you orphans.
I leave you with my world. Be one.

2.
You fear the light may be fading,
You fear to lose your way.
Be still, and know I am near you.
I'll lead you to the day and the sun.

3.
Be glad the day you have sorrow.
Be glad, for then you live.
The stars shine only in darkness,
and in your need I give my peace.

Hope this helps. God bless!
Steve

I only know the next line:

Be Still and Know I am With You
Be Still, I am the Lord

It is a really nice one though, hope you find it
