  *++Lyrics:|\\
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.\\
\\
