First Line: Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,Quiet,

Lord, my froward heart ;
Make me teachable and mild,
Upright, simple, free from art ;
Make me as a little child----
From distrust and envy free,
Pleased with all that pleases Thee.

2 What Thou shalt to-day provide,
Let me as a child receive ;
What to-morrow may betide,
Calmly to Thy wisdom leave :
‘Tis enough that Thou wilt care----
Why should I the burden bear ?

3 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 !
