Be still, my soul--the Lord is on your 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--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.
