In Subjunctive mood?
Hello,
Please tell me about " Bear" and "Leave" in the song "Be still, my soul":
-I wonder if they are used in Subjunctive mood.
-If so, please tell me why.
Thank you very much for your help!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Those are not examples of the use of subjunctive mood. They are imperatives (commands). The confusion arises because the present subjunctive forms and the imperative forms are the same.
