verse 1: 

F           Bb          C                F 
Be still, my soul--the Lord is on your side! 
            Bb       C                 F 
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; 
             Gm                   Dm 
Leave to thy God to order and provide-- 
           Bb        C              F 
In every change he faithful will remain. 
              Gm        Dm                  F 
Be still, my soul--thy best, thy heavenly Friend 
                Bb                     F 
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 

verse 2: 

F             Bb        C             F 
Be still, my soul--thy God doth undertake 
             Bb      C              F 
To guide the future as He has the past; 
              Gm                       Dm 
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake-- 
           Bb                           F 
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.  
              Gm        Dm                     F 
Be still, my soul--the waves and winds still know 
                Bb                         F 
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below. 

verse 3:
 
F             Bb        C                 F 
Be still, my soul--the hour is hastening on 
              Bb    C               F 
When we shall be forever with the Lord, 
           Gm                             Dm 
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone, 
           Bb          C               F 
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored. 
              Gm          Dm                   F 
Be still, my soul--when change and tears are past, 
               Bb              C        F 
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
