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, the 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 winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
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, loves purest joys restored.
Be still my soul; when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
1752 Katharina A. von Schlegel
The Minstrel's Wife
