Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Be still, my soul

the Lord is on thy side;

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

Leave 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

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.
