When quiet in my house I sit

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children when thou sitteth in thine house. Deut 6 :7

When quiet in my house I sit

Thy book be my companion still

My joy Thy sayings to repeat

Talk o’er the records of thy will

And search the oracles divine

Till every heartfelt word be mine

O may the gracious word divine

Subject of all my converse be

So will the Lord His follower join

And walk and talk Himself with me

So shall my heart His presence prove

And burn with everlasting love

Oft as i lay me down to rest

O may the reconciling word

Sweetly compose weary breast

While, on the bossom of my Lord

I sink in blissful dreams away

And visions of eternal day

Rising to sing my Savior’s praise

Thee may I publish all day long

And let thy precious word of grace

Flow from my heart, and fill my tongue

Fill all my life with purest love

And join me to the church above.

Amen
