Be still my soul the Lord is on thy sideBear patiently the cross of grief or painLeave to thy God to order and provideIn every change He faithful will remainBe still my soul thy best thy heavenly FriendThrough thorny ways leads to a joyful endBe still my soul thy God doth undertakeTo guide the future as He has the pastThy hope thy confidence let nothing shakeAll now mysterious shall be bright at lastBe still my soul the waves and winds still knowHis voice who ruled them while He dwelt belowBe still my soul though dearest friends departAnd all is darkened in the vale of tearsThen shalt thou better know His love His heartWhoes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fearsBe still my soul thy Jesus can repayFrom His own fullness all He takes away
