Be
Still, My Soul
With words by Katharina von Schlegel (1697
- 1768) and
Be
still my soul: The Lord is on thy side;
With
patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.
Leave
to thy God to order and provide;
In
ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be
still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend
Thru
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 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.
