b...@grif.net
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side. Bear patiently the cross of grief and pain.
Leave to your God to order and provide; in every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; your best, your heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: your Father undertakes 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.
Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, and all is darkened in the vale of tears.
Then you shall better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears.
Be still, my soul: your Jesus can repay from His own fullness all He takes away.
Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise on earth, believing, to your Lord on high.
Acknowledge Him in all your words and ways; so shall He view you with a well-pleased eye.
Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.
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.
Lyrics: Katharina von Schlegel, 1752
