Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
Be still my soul; the Lord is on thy side, Bear patiently the cross of grief and 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 Thru 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 O we shall meet at last.
