%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % This file is a part of the Open Hymnal Project to create a freely % distributable, downloadable database of Christian hymns, spiritual % songs, and prelude/postlude music. This music is to be distributed % as complete scores (words and music), using all accompaniment parts, % in formats that are easily accessible on most computer OS's and which % can be freely modified by anyone. The current format of choice is the % "ABC Plus" format, favored by folk music distributors on the internet. % All scores will also be converted into pdf, MIDI, and mp3 formats. % Some advanced features of ABC Plus are used, and for accurate % translation to a printed score, please consider using "abcm2ps" % version 4.10 or later. I am doing my best to create a final product % that is "Hymnal-quality", and could feasibly be used as the basis for % a printed church hymnal. % % The maintainer of the Open Hymnal Project is Brian J. Dumont (brian % dot j dot dumont at gmail dot com). I have gone through serious efforts % to make sure that no copyright mistakes make it into this database. % If I am in error, please inform me as soon as possible. % % This entire effort has used only free software, and I am indebted to % the efforts of many other individuals, including the authors of % the various ABC and ABC Plus software. Undoubtedly, I am also indebted % to all of the great Christians who wrote these hymns. % % This database comes with no guarantees whatsoever. % % I would love to get email from anyone who uses the Open Hymnal, and % I will take requests for hymns to add. My decision of whether to % add a hymn will be based on these criteria (in the following order): % 1) It must be in the public domain or freely distributable % 2) It must be a Christian piece % 3) Whether I have access to a printed copy of the music (surprisingly, % a MIDI file is usually a terrible source) % 4) Whether I like the hymn :) % % If you would like to contribute to the Open Hymnal Project, please % send an email to me, I would love the help! PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU % FIND ANY MISTAKES, no matter how small. I want to ensure that every % slur, stem, hyphenation, and punctuation mark is correct; and I'm sure % that there must be mistakes right now. % % Open Hymnal Project, 2008 Edition % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % PAGE LAYOUT % %%pagewidth 21.6000cm %%pageheight 27.9000cm %%scale 0.700000 %%staffsep 1.60000cm %%exprabove false %%measurebox false %OHSCRIP Ps 46:10, Rom 2:3-5 %OHTOPICS {Assurance}, {Brevity of Life [3,4]}, {Calmness}, {Cloud [5]}, {Comfort}, {Courage in Affliction}, {Cross [1]}, {Darkness, Spiritual [3]}, {Eternal Life [4-5]}, {God, Care of}, {God, Faithfulness of}, {God, Love of}, {God, Majesty & Power of [2]}, {God, Providence of [1,2]}, {Guidance [1,2]}, {Heaven [4]}, {Patience}, {Security}, {Submission (see also Following Jesus, God - Providence of, Trust) [1,2]} %OHCATEGORY CROSS AND COMFORT %OHMETRICAL 10 10 10 10 10 10 %OHCOMPLEXITY 2 %OHCOMPOSER Sibelius, Jean (1865-1957) %OHARRANGER Sibelius, Jean (1865-1957) %OHAUTHOR von Schlegel, Katharina Amalia Dorothea (1697-1768) %OHTRANSLATOR Borthwick, Jane Laurie (1813-1897) %%postscript /st { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto 4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%postscript /nd { moveto -8 0 rmoveto 0 8 rlineto -4 0 rlineto stroke } def %%deco sintro 6 st 6 0 0 %%deco eintro 6 nd 6 0 0 X: 1 T: Be Still My Soul C: Words: Katharina A. von Schlegel, 1752.
