Author: John Oxenham Hymnal: The Hymnal #322 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 ’Mid all the traffic of the ways—
Turmoils without, within—
Make in my heart a quiet place,
And come and dwell therein:
2 A little shrine of quietness,
All sacred to Thyself,
Where Thou shalt all my soul possess,
And I may find myself;
3 A little shelter from life’s stress,
Where I may lay me prone,
And bare my soul in loneliness,
And know as I am known;
4 A little place of mystic grace,
Of self and sin swept bare,
Where I may look upon Thy face,
And talk with Thee in prayer.
Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Peace, Spiritual; Serenity Tune Title: ST. AGNES
