Prayer for Peace and Calm
Dear Lord and Father of humankind,Forgive our foolish ways;Reclothe us in our rightful mind,In purer lives Thy service find,In deeper reverence, praise.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,Till all our strivings cease;Take from our souls the strain and stress,And let our ordered lives confessThe beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desireThy coolness and Thy balm;Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,O still, small voice of calm.
- John Greenleaf Whittier
Amen.
