One that in calm repose
Safe in your love though tempests rage,
Peace and refreshment knows.
Give me a trustful mind
When doubts and fears assail;
Help me confide in you, assured
Your grace can never fail.
Give me an earnest mind,
Set all my zeal aflame,
So that with willing service here
I may extol your name.
Give me a steadfast mind,
Firm as a rock, and sure;
Unswerving, loyal, I would stand
And to the end endure.
Give me a thankful mind,
So that in full accord,
Mind, heart, and voice shall ever sing
Glad praise to Christ, my Lord.
(a prayer of Frederick G. Hawkes, from The Salvation Army Songbook)
