1. O Lord, arrogance I abhor,
And never let my lip betray pride and sclore.*

2. In quietness my soul I’ve put to rest.
I do not aspire to things beyond my ken.

3. Tranquil my soul that I set within your peace, Lord.
Deep in your peace like a child upon the breast.

4. Touching not clinging, my freedom you awaken.
God, your covenant love will invite me to adore.

(Repeat verses 1 and 2; then 3, 4, and 1 instrumentally. End with verse 2.)
