Part 2 — QUIET, LORD, MY FROWARD HEART.
Reading edition
Quiet, Lord, my froward heart: Make me teachable and mild, Upright, simple, free from art,— Make me as a weanèd child: From distrust and envy free, Pleased with all that pleaseth Thee. 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? 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. John Newton.
