Be Still My Soul
Embracing Peace Amid Life's Trials
Lyrics
Be still, my soul, the Lord is on your side
Encouragement to find inner peace; assurance that the Lord is supportive.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Endurance through difficulties and suffering, trusting in God's plan.
Leave to your God to order and provide
Surrendering control to God, relying on His provision and guidance.
In every change, He faithful will remain
Assurance of God's faithfulness amid life's changes.
Be still, my soul, your best eternal Friend
Identifying God as an eternal and trustworthy Friend.
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end
Belief that challenges lead to a positive and joyful outcome.
Be still, my soul, for God will undertake
Reiterating the call for inner calm, trusting God's intervention.
To guide in future days as in the past
Confidence in God's continued guidance in the present and future.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake
Encouragement to maintain hope and confidence despite challenges.
All now mysterious shall be clear at last
Belief that current uncertainties will eventually be understood.
Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know
Acknowledgment of God's control over natural elements.
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below
Recognition of God's authority over challenges during His earthly presence.
Be still my soul, though dearest friends depart
Comfort in times of separation from loved ones and darkness.
And all is darkened in the vale of tears
Facing difficult times with the expectation of clarity and resolution.
Then shall you better know his love, his heart
Assurance of understanding God's love and comfort during trials.
Who comes to soothe your sorrows and your fears
Expectation of solace from Jesus in times of sorrow and fear.
Be still my soul, your Jesus can repay
Belief in Jesus' ability to alleviate pain from His abundant resources.
From his own fullness all pain takes away
Recognition of Jesus as the source of relief from all suffering.
Be still my soul, when change and tears are past
Encouragement to maintain composure after challenges and tears.
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last
Anticipation of a secure and blessed reunion in the afterlife.
Be still my soul
Reiteration of the call to be still and find peace in the soul.
Be still my soul
Repetition emphasizing the importance of inner stillness.
Be still . . . my soul
Continuation of the call for soul tranquility.
