Couplet 1

Be still my soul
The Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross
Of grief or pain
Leave to your God
To order and provide
In ev'ry change
He faithful will remain
Be still my soul
Your best your heav’nly friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end

Couplet 2

Be still my soul
Your God will undertake
To guide the future
As He has the past
Your hope your 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

Couplet 3

Be still my soul
When dearest friends depart
And all is darkened
In the vale of tears
Then you will better know
His love His heart
Who comes to soothe
Your sorrows and your fears
Be still my soul
Your Jesus can repay
From his own fullness
All he takes away

Couplet 4

Be still my soul
The hour is hast'ning 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
