22. Be Thou in peace, O my soul 
 

1. Be thou in peace; the Lord is close beside thee; 
Endure the cross, my soul; in God believe. 
With blessed hope the father will provide thee. 
Each promise made by God thou shalt receive. 
O stay in peace; a faithful God is He! 
The Holy One Israel is with thee. 
 

2. Be thou in peace, for thou shalt dwell forever 
With Jesus Christ, thy Saviour and thy Lord. 
O trust in Him, my soul; He faileth never! 
Safe in His hands, the Lord has thy reward. 
O stay in peace; thy hope He shall sustain; 
And close to thee thy Guardian shall remain!   

3. Be thou in peace; the father doth assure thee 
He guards thy life, He watches faithfully. 
If thy foot slips, thy Saviour will secure thee, 
And from His hands, no power taketh thee. 
O stay in peace; the Lord of Hosts is near! 
He shall remove thy every doubt and fear.
