Quiet Peace | |||
1. | |||
O Lord my heart is all a prayer, | |||
But it is silent unto thee; | |||
I am too tired to look for words, | |||
I rest upon thy sympathy | |||
To understand when I am dumb; | |||
And well I know thou hearest me. | |||
2. | |||
I know thou hearest me because | |||
A quiet peace comes down to me, | |||
And fills the places where before | |||
Weak thoughts were wandering wearily; | |||
And deep within me it is calm, | |||
Though waves are tossing outwardly. | |||
3. | |||
O Lord my heart is all a prayer, | |||
But it is silent unto thee; | |||
I am too tired to look for words, | |||
I rest upon thy sympathy | |||

And well I know thou hearest me. | |||

Quiet Peace
1. O Lord my heart is all a prayer, But it is silent unto thee; I am too tired to look for words, I rest upon thy sympathy To understand when I am dumb; And well I know thou hearest me.
2. I know thou hearest me because A quiet peace comes down to me, And fills the places where before Weak thoughts were wandering wearily; And deep within me it is calm, Though waves are tossing outwardly.
3. O Lord my heart is all a prayer, But it is silent unto thee; I am too tired to look for words, I rest upon thy sympathy To understand when I am dumb; And well I know thou hearest me.
Amy Carmichael (1867-1951)
