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 he has the 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 his voice, 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: Walking in Faith Used With Tune: FINLANDIA
