Rebuke Thou what is vain, Counsel my soul, Thy holy will reveal, My will control. 3 In this blest quietness Clamorings cease; Here in Thy presence dwells Infinite peace; Yonder, the strife and cry, Yonder, the sin: Lord, I have shut the door, Thou art within! 4 Lord, I have shut the door, Strengthen my heart; Yonder awaits the task-- I share a part. Only through grace bestowed May I be true; Here, while alone with Thee, My strength renew. Amen. Topics: Prayer Hymns about; Prayer Hymns about Used With Tune: [Lord, I have shut the door]
