| Round a shrine of holy name | B |
| Yes they knew me when I came | B |
| More of peace and less of fame | B |
| Suit my restless heart the best | A |
| - | |
| Back to where long quiets brood | C |
| Where the calm is never stirred | D |
| By the harshness of a word | D |
| But instead the singing bird | D |
| Sweetens all my solitude | C |
| - | |
| With the birds and with the flowers | E |
| Songs and silences unite | F |
| From the morning unto night | F |
| And somehow a clearer light | F |
| Shines along the quiet hours | E |
| - | |
| God comes closer to me here | G |
| Back of ev'ry rose leaf there | H |
| He is hiding and the air | H |
| Thrills with calls to holy prayer | H |
| Earth grows far and heaven near | I |
| - | |
| Every single flower is fraught | J |
| With the very sweetest dreams | K |
| Under clouds or under gleams | K |
| Changeful ever yet meseems | K |
| On each leaf I read God's thought | J |
| - | |
| Still at times as place of death | L |
| Not a sound to vex the ear | G |
| Yet withal it is not drear | G |
| Better for the heart to hear | G |
| Far from men God's gentle breath | L |
| - | |
| Where men clash God always clings | K |
| When the human passes by | M |
| Like a cloud from summer sky | M |
| God so gently draweth nigh | M |
| And the brightest blessings brings | K |
| - | |
| List e'en now a wild bird sings | K |
| And the roses seem to hear | G |
| Every note that thrills my ear | G |
| Rising to the heavens clear | G |
| And my soul soars on its wings | K |
| - | |
| Up into the silent skies | K |
| Where the sunbeams veil the star | G |
| Up beyond the clouds afar | G |
| Where no discords ever mar | G |
| Where rests peace that never dies | K |
| - | |
| So I live within the calm | N |
| And the birds and roses know | O |
| That the days that come and go | O |
| Are as peaceful as the flow | O |
| Of a prayer beneath a psalm | P |
