BE CALM IN GOD.
TRANSLATED FOR THE UNION, FROM THE GERMAN OF JULIUS STORM.
Be calm in God, who in him rests,
Has ever peace serene,
Fulfills his nature's high behests,
Amid this earthly scene.
Be calm in faith; oh, reason not,
Where reason is not right:
Illume thy humble earthly lot
By heaven-descending light.
Be calm in love: be like the dew
Which falls in evening hours.
And sparkles thanks to Heaven's blue,
When morning wakes the flowers.
Be calm in business: do not seek
For wealth or honor's meed:
Who breaks his bread in patience meek
By God is blest indeed
Be calm in pain; and "as God will"
Let thou thy motto be.
Beneath his heavy blows hold still,
They stamp his form on thee.
Be calm in God: who in Him rests,
Has ever peace serene,
No night or trouble him molests
Amid this earthly scene.
