Jesus, the Calm That Fills My Breast

Verse 1

Jesus, the calm that fills my breast, No other heart than Thine can give; This peace unstirred, this joy of rest, None but Thy loved ones can receive.

Verse 2

My weary soul has found a charm That turns to blessedness my woe; Within the shelter of Thine arm, I rest secure from storm and foe.

Verse 3

In desert wastes I feel no dread, Fearless I walk the trackless sea; I care not where my way is led, Since all my life is life with Thee.

Verse 4

O Christ, through changeful years my Guide, My Comforter in sorrow’s night, My Friend, when friendless,— still abide, My Lord, my Counselor, my Light.

Verse 5

My time, my powers, I give to Thee; My inmost soul ’tis Thine to move; I wait for Thy eternity, I wait, in peace, in praise, in love. Amen.
