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.

1. Our Souls are Rarely Still
- Psalm 73
- Genesis 50:20

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.

2. Our God is Always Reigning
- Mark 4:35-41

Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.

Be still, my soul:
thy Jesus can repay
From His own fullness all He takes away.

3. Our Savior is Among Us
- John 11:28-44

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.

4. Our Reward is Infinitely Better
- 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise
On earth, believing, to thy Lord on high;
Acknowledge Him in all thy works and ways,
So shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye.

Be still, my soul:
the Sun of life divine
Through passing clouds
shall but more brightly shine.

5. Our Hope is Eternally Secure
- 1 John 3:1-3
