The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4812

4812. O for a Heart of Calm Repose

1. O for a heart of calm repose
Amid the world’s loud roar,
A life that like a river flows
Along a peaceful shore!

2. Come, Holy Spirit! still my heart
With gentleness divine;
Indwelling peace Thou canst impart;
O make the blessing mine.

3. Above these scenes of storm and strife
There spreads a region fair;
Give me to live that higher life,
And breathe that heavenly air.

4. Come, Holy Spirit! breathe that peace
That victory make me win;
Then shall my soul her conflict cease,
And find a heaven within.
