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 every change
He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul:
thy best, thy heavenly, 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,
though dearest friends depart
And all is darkened
in the vale of tears;
Then shalt thou better know
His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe
thy sorrows and thy fears.
Be still, my soul;
thy Jesus can repay
From His own fulness
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.
Be still, my soul:
begin the song of praise
On earth, be leaving,
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 Sun of life divine
Through passing clouds
shall but more brightly shine.
