Full Lyrics
BE STILL, MY SOUL
VERSE 1
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on my side,
Bear patiently the cross of grief and pain.
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In every change his faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; my best, my heavenly father,
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
VERSE 2
Be still, my soul, your God will undertake
To guide the future, as in ages past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul, the waves and winds still know
The Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below.
VERSE 3
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.
