O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! Interpreted by love! 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace, the beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heats of our desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind and fire, O still small voice of calm! O still small voice of calm! Scripture: 1 Kings 19:9-18 Used With Tune: REPTON
