Author: Katharina von Schlegel; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #57 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in every change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly 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 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. Topics: God the Father Sustainer; Assurance; Comfort; God-Faithfulness Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
