Bid this inward tempest cease,

Hush the whirlwind of my will.
With Thyseif my spirit fill:
End in calm this busy week

Let me cast away my load.
Let me draw anigh 10 God:
Gently. loving Jesus. speak.
End in calm this busy week.
Draw the curtains OF repose
While my weary eyellds close.

Give me dreamings pure and blest:
Raise ne with a cheerful heart.
Holy Ghost. Thyself impart:
Then the Sabbath day will be
Heaven brought down TO earth and me.
