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 eternal Friend
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul, for God will undertake
To guide in future days as in the past
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be clear 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 shall you better know his love, his heart
Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears
Be still my soul, your Jesus can repay
From his own fullness all pain takes away
Be still my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last
Be still my soul
Be still my soul
Be still, my soul
