G C Emdoth seek to work us woe; Em Asus A D His craft and power are great,
Em Am Band, armed with cruel hate, Em G C D GOn earth is not his equal.
2. Did we in our own strength confide,Our striving would be losingWere not the right Man on our side,The Man of God’s own choosing:Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;Lord Sabbaoth, His name,
from age to age the same,And He must win the battle.
3. And though this world, with devils filled,Should threaten to undo us,We will not fear, for God hath willedHis truth to triumph through us:The Prince of Darkness grim,
we tremble not for him;His rage we can endure,
for lo, his doom is sure,One little word shall fell him.
4. That word above all earthly powers,No thanks to them, abideth;The Spirit and the gifts are oursThrough Him Who with us sideth;Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;The body they may kill:
God’s truth abideth still,His kingdom is forever.

To guide the future, as He has the past.Thy hope, thy confidence
let nothing shake;All now mysterious shall be bright at last.Be still, my soul:
the waves and winds still knowHis voice Who ruled
them while He dwelt below.
3. Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,Then shalt thou better
know His love, His heart,Who comes to soothe
thy sorrow and thy fears.Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repayFrom His own fullness all He takes away.
4. Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening onWhen we shall be forever with the Lord.When disappointment, grief,
and fear are gone,Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.Be still, my soul:
when change and tears are past,All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
5. Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise
On earth, believing, to thy Lord on high;Acknowledge Him
in all thy works and ways,So shall He view thee
with a well-pleased eye.Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divineThrough passing clouds
shall but more brightly shine.
