- Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
- Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
- PLeave 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, though dearest friends depart
- And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
- Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
- Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears.
- Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
- From His own fulness all He takes away.
- 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.
