Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;<br>
 
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.<br>
 
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know<br>
 
His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.
 
 
 
3. Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,<br>
 
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,<br>
 
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,<br>
 
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.<br>
 
Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay<br>
 
From His own fullness all He takes away.
 
 
 
4. Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on<br>
 
When we shall be forever with the Lord.<br>
 
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,<br>
 
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.<br>
 
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past<br>
 
All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.
 
 
 
5. Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise<br>
 
On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;<br>
 
Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,<br>
 
So shall He view thee with a well pleased eye.<br>
 
Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine<br>
 
Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.
