Quiet, Lord, my froward heart, br Make me teachable and mild; br Upright, simple, free from art, br Make me as a weaned child; br From distrust and envy free, br Pleased with all that pleaseth Thee. br br What Thou shalt to-day provide, br Let me as a child receive; br What to-morrow may betide, br Calmly to thy wisdom leave: br 'Tis enough that Thou wilt care; br Why should I the burden bear? br br As a little child relies br On a care beyond his own; br Knows he's neither strong no wise; br Fears to stir a step alone; br Let me thus with Thee abide, br As my Father, Guard, and Guide.
