Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to your God to order and provide;
In ev'ry change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heav’nly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
To guide the future, as in ages 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
The Christ who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul: the hour is hast’ning on
When we shall be for ever 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.
