A Quiet Heart

A poem

Give me, Lord, a quiet heart

While all about is loud,

Help me find some solitude

When pressing is the crowd.

When life brings change, and even tears

Let my soul stay calm,

Be my constant, steady Guide,

My tender, soothing Balm.

When I find the waves are high,

Let me look to Thee,

The burning Beacon in the night

Reared high above the sea.

In the midst of change and tireless rush

Be my constant Peace,

Lead my thoughts to quietness

And cause the noise to cease.

Sovereign are Your ways, O Lord,

If I will just believe,

The whole world spins upon your palm,

And this, my soul, relieves.
