Calm my mind
Calm my mind oh Blessed Jesu,
for the trials of life are hard.
Grant to me the inner quietness,
let my heart be pure and free.
May I walk with you in friendship,
and your love be my support.
Lead me into peaceful pastures,
where your healing spirit flows.
Bathe my soul in it's pure waters,
cleanse me from my selfish self.
Thus reborn to walk beside you,
and to praise you evermore.
Let my voice be raised in anthems,
and all men know of your love.
May I ever speak your praises,
and in songs of worship sing.
Words of pious dedication,
that my tongue will magnify.
Help me know that you are with me,
make my faith grow strong and true.
Let temptations evil power,
be destroyed by trust in you.
And let feeble doubt be silenced,
by the knowledge of your love.
Be my guide throughout life's journey,
and the voice that calls me home.
Be the star that heralds morning,
leading me towards the day.
Be the blaze that warms my spirit,
'til I rest with you at last.
