1 Be still, my soul! the Lord is on your side: Bear patiently the cross of grief or 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 Thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 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 waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 3 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 blessèd we shall meet at last.
