Poem by Alice Freeman Palmer 1855-1902 (found in Grandmothers things, clipped from newspaper)
THE TEMPEST
"He shall give His angels charge
Over thee in thy ways."
Though the thunders roam at large,
Though the lightning round me plays,
Like a child Lay my head
In sweet sleep upon my bed."
Though the terror comes so close,
It shall have no power to smite;
It shall deepen my repose
Turn the darkness into light.
Touch of angels hands is sweet-
Not a stone shall hurt my feet.
All Thy waves and billows go
Over me to press me down
Into arms so strong I know
They will never let me down.
Ah my God, how good Thy will,
I will nestle and be still.
