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.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the
future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let
nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice
Who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
And all is
darkened in the vale of tears,
Then shalt thou better know
His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy
fears.
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
From His own
fullness all He takes away.
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 purest joys restored.
Be
still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and
blessèd we shall meet at last.
