Grant that I may rest in Thee above all things desired, and that my heart may be at peace in Thee. Thou art the true peace of the heart, Thou art its only rest; outside of Thee all things are hard and uneasy.
-Bk. III, ch. xv.

Oh! would that all this world doth hold
Might, as the ebbing tide,
Depart from me! I need it not,
For Thou art at my side.
If Thou shouldst leave me, Lord, and hide
Thy face from me awhile,
My song of love shall not be stilled,
Nor lips forbear to smile.
-Poems.
