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: thy best,
thy heav’nly 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 you better know
His love, His heart
Who comes to soothe
your sorrow 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 hast’ning 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 when
we shall meet at last
Be still, my soul:
begin the song of praise
On earth, believing,
to Thy God on high
Acknowledge Him in
all your words and ways
So shall He view you
with a well-pleased eye
Be still, my soul:
the Sun of life divine
Through passing clouds shall
but more brightly shine
Be still, my soul
