Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #432 (1888) Scripture: Psalm 131:1 First Line: Quiet, Lord, my froward heart Lyrics: 1 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,
Make me teachable and mild,
Upright, simple, free from art,
Make me as a weaned child:
From distrust and envy free,
Pleased with all that pleased thee.
2 What thou shalt to-day provide,
Let me as a child receive;
What to-morrow may betide,
Calmly to thy wisdom leave:
'Tis enough that thou wilt care;
Why should I the burden bear?
3 As a little child relies
On a care beyond his own,
Knows he's neither strong nor wise,
Fears to stir a step alone;--
Let me thus with thee abide,
As my Father, Guard, and Guide. Topics: Calmness; Christians Graces; Communion of Saints At Lord's Table; Contentment Languages: English Tune Title: GUIDE
