Be Still My Soul

These are the words to a hymn that my husband came across this morning during his time with the Lord...

Be Still, My Soul

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, they 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.
