Come What May

Come what may
We still will know peace
Come what may
Our souls will then increase

Let our hearts
Be turned unto Thee
For life charts
A course that's challenging

Come what may
We will profit
We will say
That we- lo-ve it

We'll be wise
When comes disaster
Though fear tries
Blessings are seen after

We'll endure
The nights dark shadows
For we're sure
We've brighter tomorrows

Come what may
We will profit
We will say
That we- lo-ve it

We'll not moan
On trails to Zion
We're God's own
And we shall soon triumph

With life's peaks
The hearts grows heavy
But God speaks
And brings strength from heaven

Come what may
We will profit
We will say
That we- lo-ve it

The birds sing
Come now and listen
As bells ring
Come let your eyes glisten

When we're caught
And seized by trials
It's but ought
The wheel of life's dials

Come what may
We will profit
We will say
That we- lo-ve it

Know each tear
That clouds up today
Soon will clear
Unto a joyous day

We shall seek
For life eternal
We'll be meek
With peace that's internal

Come what may
We will profit
We will say
That we- lo-ve it

God does see
Beyond- to success
And we'll be
Strengthened though we've distress

For each loss
He will compensate
When we cross
Beyond what comes of late

Come what may
We will profit
We will say
That we- lo-ve it

Elder Wirthlin
Come What May, And Love It
Ensign, November 2008, 26

The words came to me
after choir practice
with Once In Royal David's City
still playing in my mind
