Be still, .My Soul, The Lord is on Lhy 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, Thro' 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 hop, thy cofidence 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.
Cast thy Burden upon the Lord And He shall sustain thee: Psalm 55:22
