1 Often while in meditation
On His love so free,
Comes a message from my Father
Spoken just to me.

Refrain
In life's quiet hours I find Him
Waiting for my call.
It is there He meets me, greets me,
Holds me lest I fall.

2 Or it may be I have struggled
Thro' some trial sore;
When my struggling turns to trusting,
Lo, the tri'l is o'er. [Refrain]

3 Or perchance while I am waiting
Still on bended knee,
Comes a quiet revelation
Of His love for me. [Refrain]

4 At my work or in my closet--
Almost anywhere--
If in quietness I listen,
I find Jesus there. [Refrain]
