Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side. Bear patiently the=
cross of grief and 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 th=
rough thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: your Father undertakes to guide the future as He has t=
he past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake; all now mysterio=
us shall be bright at last.
Be still, my so=
ul; 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 th=
e vale of tears.
Then you shall 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: begin the song of praise on e=
arth, believing, to your Lord on high.
Ackno=
wledge Him in all your words and ways; so shall He view you with a well-ple=
ased eye.
Be still, my soul: the Sun of life=
divine through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.
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 w=
e shall meet at last.
