lyrics

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 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 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
