*Pastor’s Note: A.B. Simpson was a very well respected Canadian preacher, theologian and author who lived from December 15, 1843 to October 29, 1919. My prayer is that you will be blessed and inspired by his poetry as much as I am.
O RESTLESS HEART OF MINE
O restless heart of mine,
Wilt thou not learn at length,
In quietness and confidence
Shall be your strength?
Our worries wear away
The fibers of the soul,
While trust and rest our spirit hold
In sweet control.
Stillness is strength, the tides
Of ocean calmly flow,
While petty torrents rage and fret,
As on they go.
Quiet my spirit, Lord,
Thy confidence bestow;
So shall my soul be still and strong,
Come weal or woe.
Trusting Thy love and power,
My heart can sweetly rest,
Knowing that Thou canst only send
That which is best.
So, restless heart of mine,
Be still and learn at length,
In quietness and confidence
Shall be thy strength.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
