|
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, 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 fullness 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. |
