1. Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God order and provide; In every change He faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly friend. Through thorny ways to a joyful end. 2. Be still, my soul: thy God doth under take 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 dwelth below. 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, loves purest joys restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are part, All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
