Couplet 1

Be still my soul
The Lord is on my 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
Thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end

Couplet 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

Couplet 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
We shall meet at last

Couplet 4

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
