| Be Still My Soul |
| |
| Be still my soul the Lord is on your 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. |
| |
| 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 bright at last. |
| Be still, my soul; the waves and wind still know |
| His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below. |
| |
| Be still, my soul; though dearest friends depart |
| And all is darkened in the vale of tears; |
| Then you will better know his love, his heart, |
| Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears. |
| Be still, my soul; your 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 blessed we shall meet at last. |
