23Be Still, My Soul

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side; Bear patient-ly the cross of grief or pain; Leave to thy God to order and pro-vide; In every change He faithful will remain.Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly FriendThrough thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake To guide thefuture as He has the past. Thy hope, thy confidence let nothingshake; All now mysterious shall be bright at last.Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still knowHis voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on When we shallbe forever with the Lord, When disappointment, grief and fear aregone, 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.
