Be Still, My Soul

Author: Katharina von Schlegel; Jane L. Borthwick Appears in 178 hymnals First Line: Be still, my soul! the Lord is on thy side Lyrics: 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! 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.
