Abating Anger

orchidee



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

  • Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 6686 metre. Anger is a human emotion, but it does not help to be of angry disposition. I suppose it can be easier sometimes to stay angry than to forgive, to let go of things upsetting us. We may like to replay the situations in our minds, to 'get one over' someone, but we may end up worse ourselves.

          Thanks Angela. This is from some unpleasant personal experience I had, having to deal with a someone who was a right - time for the - *&^*(^$%£(@%"*!!. Ooh, ears burning now! But some folk, only a few hopefully, you can't even speak to them without some 'I don't care' type of answer in return. I met a horrid un-civil servant! I should have complained about the attitude maybe. It was disgusting. Made me feel like rubbish.
