Another lovely hymn by North was written in 1884. The first stanza reads:
Jesus, the calm that fills my breast
No other heart than Thine can give;
This peace unstirred, this joy of rest,
None but Thy loved ones can receive.
The spirit of this hymn reminds us very much of the two classic hymns of Bernard of Clairvaux—“O Jesus, joy of loving hearts” and “Jesus, the very thought of Thee.” The last line quoted above is evidently inspired by a line from the latter hymn.
A Gripping Hymn by a Girl
O’er Jerusalem Thou weepest
In compassion, dearest Lord!
Love divine, of love the deepest,
