Be still, my soul! the Lord is on thy side

1	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 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, when dearest friends depart
	And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
	Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
	Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears;
	Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
	From His own fulness all He takes away.

4	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 blessed we shall meet at last.
