The Hermits Cell

The Hermits Cell

“In the world ye shall have tribulation:”

Lord Jesus, Thou saidst it of old.

There dark are the desolate mountains,

The night winds are cold.

But safe from the storm and the tempest My soul hath a cell; There ever, beside the still waters, With Jesus I dwell.

There, hushed from the strife and the sorrow,

Alone and apart,

In chambers of peace and of stillness—

That Home is His Heart.
