“In Quiet Resting Places.”

More rest we want, O God!
More rest from self and sin,
More silence for serener thought,
The soul’s true goal to win.

Without, the strife of tongues,
Within, a wayward will;—
O Jesus, Saviour! speak, and say,
“Peace, troubled heart, be still.”

In quiet confidence
We then shall sweetly rest,
And in thy gentleness, O Lord,
For evermore be blest.
