Be Still My Soul

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, they 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 wind still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. Be still my soul; when 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 sorrow 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 joy restored. Be still my soul, when changes and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

Be still my soul; begin the song of praise on earth, believing, to thy Lord on high; acknowledge Him in all thy works and ways, so shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye. Be still my soul; the Sun of life divine through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine. by Katherine von Schlegel Thank you Father that we can rest in you in the midst of whatever the world may put before us.
