Where Can I Turn For Peace?

Where can I turn for peace?
Where is my solace,
When other sources cease to make me whole?
When with a wounded heart,
Anger or malice,
I draw myself apart, searching my soul.
Where when my aching grows,
Where when I languish,
Where in my need to know, where can I run?
Where is the quiet hand,
to calm my anguish?
Who, Who can understand? He, only One.
He answers privately,
Reaches my reaching.
In my Gethsemane, Savior and friend.
Gentle the peace he finds
for my beseeching
Constant he is and kind,
love without end.

This is one of my favorite Hymns. It has helped me through so much over the years. I read it again yesterday during sacrament and it was JUST what I needed. I love love love these words.
