A calm and gentle quiet reigns tonight

Author: David H. Smith, 1844-1904 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Light Lyrics: 1 A calm and gentle quiet reigns tonight; There's not a cloud upon a single brow; And every heart is swelling with delight, For peace is brooding sweetly o'er us now; And every bosom feels the thrilling touch Of spirit and the touch of holy fire, The precious boon for which we pray so much, In answer to our earnest hearts desire. 2 We thank the Lord that we have lived to see The good he bringeth in this latter day; Our earnest prayers to him shall ever be To keep our feet within the narrow way, For we have walked in darkness hitherto, And had but just a little ray of light, But now the blessings fall as morning dew, And truth is shining as the morning bright. 3 We must not wait for now the time is ours, And if I wait, another waits for me; We see the workings of contending powers; The darkness and the holy light we see. Then let us render service to the Lord, And drive whose clouds of fear and doubt away, That we may all rejoice with one accord Until the dawning of that perfect day. Scripture: Psalm 107:29-32 Used With Tune: A CALM AND GENTLE QUIET
