1. Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side. Bear pa- tient- ly the cross of grief or pain. Leave to thy God to or- der and pro- vide; In ev- ery change, He faith- ful will re- main. Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav'n- ly Friend Through thorn- y ways leads to a joy- ful end.

2. Be still, my soul: thy God doth un- der- take To guide the fu- ture, as He has the past. Thy hope, thy con- fi- dence let no- thing shake; All now my- ster- ious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt be- low.

3. Be still, my soul: when dear- est friends de- part, And all is dark- ened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou bet- ter know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sor- row and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Je- sus can re- pay From His own full- ness all He takes a- way.

4. Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'n- ing on When we shall be for- ev- er with the Lord. When dis- a- ppoint- ment, grief and fear are gone, Sor- row for- got, love's pur- est joys re- stored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past All safe and bless- �d we shall meet at last.

5. Be still, my soul: be- gin the song of praise On earth, be- liev- ing, to Thy Lord on high; Ac- know- ledge Him in all thy words and ways, So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye. Be still, my soul: the Sun of life di- vine Through pass- ing clouds shall but more bright- ly shine.
