Be Still My Soul
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, 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 myster’ous 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.
~Katharina von Schlegel
