'Be Still My Soul'

Is my favorite Hymn. I could not help sing along with my cousin Sharon and her husband Fernando Seminario sang it at Miranda's, their oldest's baptism.
"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 Friend
Thru 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 on
When 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."

I know that Joy will reign because of the promises of my Savior Jesus Christ and His gospel.
I have had reason to draw strength from this hymn and am grateful that like in the parable of the Prodigal son, my hardships in life-that are not my Heavenly Father's doing, but the consequences of life, have helped me to 'come to myself' and realize what is important in life; My family and faith.
