Be Thou Humble

Last Sunday we sang "Be Thou Humble" in relief society and the words really struck me. It was one of the those moments when I knew the Lord was there for me to carry the burdens I have been given. He will do the same for each one of us if we will allow Him to.

Be Thou Humble
Be thou humble in thy weakness and the Lord thy God shall lead thee,
Shall lead thee by the hand and give thee answer to they prayers.
Be thou humble in the pleading and the Lord thy God shall bless thee,
Shall bless thee with a sweet and calm assurance that he cares.
Be thou humble in thy calling and the Lord thy God shall teach thee
To serve his children gladly with a pure and gentle love.
Be thou humble in thy longing and the Lord thy God shall take thee,
Shall take thee home at last to ever dwell with him above.
The last two lines were a great reminder that after we humble ourselves He will take us home to be with Him and our loved ones.

  2. Beautifully said Gayle! Thank you for that. My mother-in-law is struggling with the loss of her son (who was 32), that song struck me as something we need to have printed somewhere to see all the time. It is a beautiful reminder that we all need to lift us up!
