Text:Calm me, my God

414. Calm me, my God

1 Calm me, my God, and keep me calm:
Let thine outstretched wing
Be like the shade of Elim's palm,
Beside her desert spring.

2 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,--

3 Calm in the hour of buoyant health,
Calm in the hour of pain:
Calm in my poverty or wealth,
Calm in my loss or gain,--

4 Calm in the sufferance of wrong,
Like him who bore my shame;
Calm 'mid the threatening, taunting throng,
Who hate thy holy name.

5 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.
