Lord, I have shut the door
Speak now the word
Which in the din and throng
Could not be heard
Hushed now my inner heart
Whisper Thy will
While I have come apart
While all is still
Lord, I have shut the door
Here do I bow
Speak, for my soul attent
Turns to Thee now
Rebuke Thou what is vain
Counsel my soul
Thy holy will reveal
My will control
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!
| |
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
