241. My Soul, Why So Troubled

 1.  My soul, why so troubled,
Though great thy pain be?
Trust thou in thy Jesus,
His heart He gives thee.
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!

2.  Art thou sore afflicted,
Must thou sickness bear?
Let nothing mislead thee
To doubt and despair.
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!

3.  And art thou here friendless,
Have all turned from thee?
Trust thou in thy Jesus;
Thy true Friend is He.
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!

4.  Must thou bear derision
Of men frequently?
Then duly consider
What God saith to thee:
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!
Believe that thy Jesus
Thee leads as He will!

5.  Though death's evil shadows
Oft thee may surround,
God's hand ever helpful
Will present be found.
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
Say: "Not as I would,
But alone as God will!"
Say: "Not as I would,
But alone as God will!"

6.  If fires of temptation
Burn into thy heart,
Then flee to thy Savior,
He healeth the smart.
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
In silently suffering
Doth strength richly dwell.
In silently suffering
Doth strength richly dwell.

7.  If Satan with arrows
Of fire draws near,
Then put on the shield
Of a faith that's sincere.
Be patient and still,
Be patient and still.
In silently suffering
Doth strength richly dwell.
In silently suffering
Doth strength richly dwell.
