Be Still, My Soul

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief and pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In ev'ry change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heav'nly 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 tempests will obey
His voice, who ruled them once on Galilee.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be for ever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow Forgotten, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.
