Author: AnonymousHymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #502 (1999)Meter: 8.6.8.6Lyrics: 1 O for a heart of calm repose
Amid the world’s loud roar,
A life that like a river flows
Along a peaceful shore!
2 Come, Holy Spirit! still my heart
With gentleness divine;
Indwelling peace Thou canst impart;
O make the blessing mine!
3 Above these scenes of storm and strife
There spreads a region fair;
Give me to live that higher life,
And breathe that heavenly air.
4 Come, Holy Spirit! breathe that peace,
That victory make me win;
Then shall my soul her conflict cease,
And find a heaven within.

Person Name: UnknownAuthor of "O for a heart of calm repose" in Songs for the Lord's HouseIn some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact.
