\nThrough thorny ways leads to a joyful end.\nBe still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
\nTo guide the future, as He has the past.
\nThy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;

\nBe still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
\nHis voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.\nBe still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
\nAnd all is darkened in the vale of tears,
\nThen shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
\nWho comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
\nBe still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
\nFrom His own fullness all He takes away.\nBe still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
\nWhen we shall be forever with the Lord.
\nWhen disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
\nSorrow forgot, love\u2019s purest joys restored.
\nBe still, my soul: when change and tears are past
\nAll safe and bless\u00e8d we shall meet at last.\nBe still, my soul: begin the song of praise
\nOn earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;
\nAcknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,
\nSo shall He view thee with a well pleased eye.
\nBe still, my soul: the Sun of life divine
\nThrough passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
