Be Still, My Soul: The Lord Is On Thy Side

Be Still My Soul:
The Lord Is On Thy Side

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.

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.

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. —Kathrina von Schlegel (1697–1797)
