Author: Katharina von Schlegel, b. 1697; Jane Borthwick, 1813-1897 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #426 (2011) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal 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.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last. Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Assurance; Everlasting Life; Faith Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Languages: English Tune Title: FINLANDIA
