Calm Me My God and Keep Me Calm
{ Calm Me My God and Keep Me Calm LAMBETH-A. Schulthes (arr. Henry John Gauntlett) NAOMI-Hans George Naegeli (arr. Lowell Mason) Calm Me, My God, and Keep Me Calm } Calm me, my God, and keep me calm: Let Thy outstretched wing Be like the shade of Elim's palm, Beside her desert spring. Yes, keep me calm, though loud and rude The sounds my ear that greet; Calm in the closet's solitude, Calm in the busy street; Calm in the hour of buoyant health, And in the hour of pain; Calm in my poverty or wealth, And in my loss or gain; Calm in the sufferance of wrong, Like Him who bore my shame; Calm 'mid the threatening, taunting throng, Who hate Thy holy name. Calm me, my God, and keep me calm, Soft resting on Thy breast; Soothe me with holy hymn and psalm, And bid my spirit rest. |
