O calm of hills above, where Jesus knelt to share with thee the silence of eternity, interpreted by love! 4 Drop thy still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress; and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of thy peace. 5 Breathe through the pulses of desire thy coolness and thy balm; let sense be dumb, its heats expire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm!
