A Prayer For You Today

My hidden source of calm repose,
Your all-sufficient love divine,
My help and refuge from my foes,
Secure I am while You art mine;
And lo! from sin and grief, and shame,
I hide me, Jesus, in Your name.

Your mighty name salvation is,
And keeps my happy soul above.
Comfort it brings, and power, and peace,
And joy, and everlasting love.
To me, with Your great name, are given
Pardon, and holiness and heaven.

Jesus, my all in all You art;
My rest in toil, my ease in pain;
The healing of my broken heart,
In war my peace, in loss my gain;
My smile beneath the tyrant’s frown;
In shame my glory and my crown.

In want my plentiful supply,
In weakness my almighty power;
In bonds my perfect liberty,
My light in Satan’s darkest hour;
In grief my joy unspeakable,
My life in death, my all-in-all.

Amen.

Thou Hidden Source of Calm Repose (1749)

Our union with Christ as believers is no small thing. Lean in and rest.
