Be still, my soul Be still, my soul 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 heav'nly friend Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end Be still, my soul Be still, my soul 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 Be still, my soul Be still, my soul Be still, my soul, when dearest friends depart And all is darkened in the veil of tears Then shalt thou better know his love, his heart Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears Be still, my soul, thy Jesus can repay From his own fullness all he takes away Be still, my soul, the hour is hast'ning 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
