Be Still My Soul

Verse 1

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 ev'ry change He faithful will remain

Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heav'nly Friend

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

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 blessed we shall meet at last

Verse 4

Be still, my soul, begin the song of praise

On earth believing to thy Lord on high

Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways

So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye

Be still, my soul, the Song of life divine

Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine
