Calm me, my God, and keep me calm,
While these hot breezes blow;
Be like the night-dew�s cooling balm
Upon earth�s fevered brow.
Calm me, my God, and keep me calm,
Soft resting on Thy breast;
Sooth me with holy hymn and psalm,
And bid my spirit rest.
Calm me, my God, and keep me calm;
Let Thine outstretched wing
Be like the shade of Elim�s palm,
Beside her desert spring.
Yes, keep me calm,though loud and rude
The sounds my ear that greet�
Calm in the closet�s solitude,
Calm in the bustling street;
Calm in the hour of buoyant health,
Calm in my hour of pain,
Calm in my poverty or wealth,
Calm in my loss or gain;
Calm in the sufferance of wrong,
Like Him who bore my shame;
Calm �mid the threatening taunting throng,
Who hate Thy holy name.
Calm me, my God, and keep me calm,
Soft resting on Thy breast;
Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm,
And bid my spirit rest.
Calm as the ray of sun or star
Which storms assail in vain;
Moving unruffled through earth�s war,
The eternal calm to gain.
