"Great are thy tender mercies, O Lord" Psalms 119:156


1. Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.Leave to thy God to order and provide;In ev’ry change he faithful will remain.Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav’nly FriendThru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake 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 know His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast’ning 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.


Doctrine and Covenants 101:16

Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.


As I sat is the temple the words of this song came to mind. Then I read this scripture. They spoke peace to my mind and my heart. I couldn't wait to get a hymn book and really read the words. So today during the sacrament I read the word and again a quiet peace came over me. If that was not enough they musical number between the speakers was again this hymn. The Lord is truly on my side and he was making sure I understand it fully.
