Be Still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Be 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, they heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. 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.
3. Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening 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 blessèd we shall meet at last.
4. I then shall live as one who's been forgiven
I'll walk with joy to know my debts are paid.
I'll know my name is clear before my Father.
I am his child and I am not afraid.
So greatly pardoned, I'll forgive my brother
The law of love I gladly will obey.
5. I then shall live as one who's learned compas
sion.
I've been so loved that I'll risk loving too.
I'll know how fear builds walls instead of bridge
s. I'll dare to see another's point of view.
And when relationships demand committment
Then I'll be there to care and follow through.
6. Your kingdom come around through in me Your
pow'r and glory, let them shine through me.
Your Hallowed Name! O may I bear with honour.
And may you feed a hungry world through me
The Bread of Life,O may I sare with others,
And may you feed a hungry world through me.
