A Form of a Prayer

Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.
My saddening dreams invite you.
Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.

Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.
Prepare me for the lashing storm.
Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.

Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.
Grant me a place of refuge in you.
Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.

Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.
Tame my grief, dwell in me.
Come! Calm.
Come! Calm.
