467 Jesus, source of calm repose,
1 Jesus, source of calm repose,
Thy like no man nor angel knows;
Fairest among ten thousand fair!
E'en those whom death's sad fetters bound,
Whom thickest darkness compassed round,
Find light and life, if Thou appear.
2 Renew Thine image, Lord, in me,
Lowly and gentle may I be;
No charms but these to Thee are dear;
No anger may'st Thou ever find,
No pride, in my unruffled mind,
But faith, and heaven-born peace, be there.
3 A patient, a victorious mind,
That life and all things cast behind,
Springs forth obedient to Thy call.
A heart that no desire can move,
But still to adore, believe, and love,
Give me, my Lord, my life, my all!
