Verse 1
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 ev'ry change He faithful will remain
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Verse 2
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

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

Verse 4
Be still, my soul, begin the song of praise
On earth believing to thy Lord on high
Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways
So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye
Be still, my soul, the Song of life divine
Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine
