Sample Lyrics:

Verse 1

Be still, my soul:

The Lord is on thy side;

With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.

Leave to thy God to order and provide;

In ev’ry change he faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul:

Thy best, thy heav’nly Friend

Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

 

Verse 2

Why should we mourn or think our lot is hard?

’Tis not so; all is right.

Why should we think to earn a great reward

If we now shun the fight?

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.
