Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace when other sources cease to make me whole?
When with a wounded heart, anger or malice
I draw myself apart searching my soul Where, when my aching grows
Where, when I languish
Where, in my need to know
Where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?
Who can understand? He only one. (He answers privately)
Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side
With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain
(gentle the peace He finds for my beseeching)
Leave to thy God to order and provide
(constant He is and kind, love without end)
In ever change, He faithful will remain
Be still my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend
(constant He is and kind, love without end)
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end
