Be calm my soul, faint not with care Though burdens deep our hearts would tear He is the Lord, all He commands He holdeth me safe in His hands Be calm my soul, melt not in fear Though shadows dark press in so near Yet in despair I see His Light Lead me O Lord with wondrous sight Be calm my soul, rest in Him sure No wave of doubt His words endure My longing soul is satisfied He now leads forth my Strength and Guide.
