Calm the waves of this heart
Prayer Tradition: Christian
O Lord,
calm the waves of this heart;
calm its tempests.
Calm thyself,
O my soul,
so that God is able to repose in thee,
so that his peace may cover thee.
Yes,
Father in heaven,
often have we found that the world
cannot give us peace,
O but make us feel that thou
are able to give peace;
let us know the truth of thy promise:
that the whole world may not be able
to take away thy peace.
