534 Be Still, My Soul


Be Still, My Soul
Capo 3
Chords look familiar? That’s right, it’s the same tune as 437 This Is My Song

D            G         A       D
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side.
            G      A        D
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
              G   D    A             G
leave to your God to order and provide;
         D               A        D
in every change God faithful will remain.
             G     D                     Am     G
Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend
               D             A    D
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Words: Katharina von Schlegel, 1752; trans. by Jane Borthwick, 1855 (Ps. 46:10)
