Abating Anger

Tune: Doncaster

(\'Put thou thy trust in God\')

**********

Let anger not abide

Stay not in turmoiled state

Forgive, hold not to grudges, so

Restoring you shall know

 

Ask forgiveness, the Lord

Shall be true to His word

Shall forgive, help, and strength you give

At peace again, you live

 

Seek to amend swift, soon

Let not pass many moons

Nor days of strife, unsettling

They only anguish bring

 

Help us in lesser trials

Whate\'er appearance, styles

To wait your time, your wisdom know

You shall reveal it, show

 

Or where trials long and hard

Where we grow weary, tired

Still trust to you, your love and power

Working through us each hour

 

Though human failings we

Have, all them you know, see

Yet growing more in Christ your Son

Until earthly days done
