Away From The Mountains
Lord, give me grace
When I go from the mountains,
Away from the things
That bring peace to the soul...
Hemlocks and spruces,
Fresh sweet-smelling balsams,
All green things of the earth
Which in beauty unroll.
Peaks in the sunrise,
And peaks in the sunset...
Stars of pure gold:
In the dear silent nights...
Mists full of stillness,
Bright clouds of soft whiteness...
Mystical glowing of far
Northern lights.
Help me I pray,
When these joys are behind me,
When down to the flat-lying
City I go
Take me in spirit
Back, Back to the mountains
To rest in Thy presence
And be still and to know.
