Quiet, Lord, My Froward Heart Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHDD

Quiet Lord my froward heartA
Make me teachable and mildB
Upright simple free from artA
Make me as a weaned childB
From distrust and envy freeC
Pleased with all that pleaseth TheeC
-
What Thou shalt to day provideD
Let me as a child receiveE
What to morrow may betideD
Calmly to thy wisdom leaveE
'Tis enough that Thou wilt careF
Why should I the burden bearF
-
As a little child reliesG
On a care beyond his ownH
Knows he's neither strong no wiseG
Fears to stir a step aloneH
Let me thus with Thee abideD
As my Father Guard and GuideD

John Newton
