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 Pleases Thee.
What Thou Shalt Today Provide,
Let Me As A Child Receive;
What Tomorrow May Betide,
Calmly To Thy Wisdom Leave:
‘Tis Enough That Thou Wilt Care,
Why Should I The Burden Bear?
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.
Thus Preserved From Satan’s Wiles,
Safe From Dangers, Free From Fears;
May I Live Upon Thy Smiles,
Till The Promised Hour Appears;
When The Sons Of God Shall Prove
All Their Father’s Boundless Love.
