Text: | 'Mid All the Traffic of the Ways |
Author: | John Oxenham |
Tune: | ST. AGNES |
Composer: | John B. Dykes |
1 ’Mid all the traffic of the ways,
Turmoils without, within,
Make in my heart a quiet place,
And come and dwell within;
2 A little shrine of quietness,
All sacred to thyself,
Where thou shalt all my soul possess,
And I may find myself;
3 A little shelter from life’s stress,
Where I may lay me prone,
And bare my soul in loneliness,
And know as I am known;
4 A little place of mystic grace,
Of self and sin swept bare,
Where I may look upon thy face,
And talk with thee in prayer.
