Be still my soul
Be still my soul
Cease from the labour and the toil
Refreshing springs of peace await
The troubled minds and hearts that ache
Be still my soul
God knows your way
And He will guide
For His name's sake
Plunge in the rivers of His grace
Rest in the arms of His embrace
Be still my soul
Be still my soul
Though battles round you rage and roar
One thing you need and nothing more
To hear the whisper of your Lord
Be still My child
I know your way
And I will guide
For My name's sake
Plunge in the rivers of My grace
Rest in the arms of My embrace
Be still, be still my soul

Don Moen's 'Be Still My Soul' is a gentle worship song that calls listeners to find peace and rest in God's presence. It speaks to those who are weary, anxious, or facing struggles, encouraging them to cease from labor and trust in God's guidance. The lyrics emphasize God's grace and embrace as a source of comfort, and they remind believers to listen for the Lord's whisper amid life's battles. The song draws on the biblical theme of stillness before God, similar to Psalm 46:10, and offers reassurance that God knows our way and will lead us.
