“Confidence and Quietness”

By Arthur C. Logan

ARTHUR C. LOGAN
“In confidence and quietness” My soul at length doth boast. The lesson learned, no more this bark Shall scan life's rugged coast; But in returning now, and rest, Her haggard form doth wait, No more to roam the desert wild, Nor sail through stormy strait.
“In confidence and quietness,” O, words with comfort fraught, That in his might our strength shall be, As in the Word is taught! Yea, they who on Jehovah wait Their strength shall e'er renew; And they that in his arm shall trust, Shall all their foes subdue.
“In confidence and quietness”— No more the fevered breast, No more complaint, all murmurings ceased— My soul doth calmly rest; No more of anxious care and strife, Nor motives overwrought; No more is selfish impulse rife, Nor false emotion sought.
As weaned child, in quietness My soul doth find repose; All evil passions now subdued, And vanquished all my foes; All worldly lust and appetite Henceforth are crucified; And clinging, trusting in the blood, I ’neath the cross abide.
