1.
Be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul, your best, your heavenly
friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2.
Be still, my soul, your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing
shake;
all now mysterious shall be clear at last.
Be still, my soul: the tempests still obey,
his voice who ruled them once in Galilee.
3.
Be still, my soul, when dearest friends depart,
and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
then you shall better know his love, his heart,
who comes to soothe our sorrows, calm your
fears.
Be still, my soul, for Jesus can repay,
from his own fullness, all he takes away.
4.
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love’s pure joy restored.
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are
past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
