Hush idle words, and thoughts of ill,

Your Lord is listening; peace, be still.

Christ watches by a Christian’s hearth,

Be silent, vain, deluding mirth,

Till in thine altered voice be known,

Somewhat of resignation’s tone.

Keble.

REST.

Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.—Psalm cxvi. 7.
