My heart is not raised up too high
My eyes don’t search beyond the sky
I do not seek what can’t be known
Nor fret myself over mysteries
But I have calmed and soothed my soul
Like a child at rest in its mother’s arms
Like this child sleeping by my side
My soul in God knows peace and calm
All you who love and trust your God
In this God shall you put your hope
For there you’ll find unfailing love
From this time forth and forever more
