Quiet, Lord, this trembling frame,
Tranquilise this beating heart, Let the savour of Thy name Sweetest influence now impart, Till the thought that Thou art near Shall dispel each rising fear.
2 Let me find a hallowed rest Never more in sin to rove, Gently leaning on Thy breast In humility and love; Like a simple-hearted child, With affections undefiled.
3 Then, though earthly cares assail, Though afflictions mark my way, No temptation shall prevail, To dishearten or betray; While I thus in Thee confide, Every want is satisfied. }}
