  1. Lord, I have shut the door,
    Speak now the word
    Which in the din and throng
    Could not be heard;
    Hushed now my inner heart,
    Whisper Thy will,
    While I have come apart,
    While all is still.
  2. Lord, I have shut the door,
    Here do I bow;
    Speak, for my soul attent
    Turns to Thee now;
    Rebuke Thou what is vain,
    Counsel my soul,
    Thy holy will reveal,
    My will control.
  3. In this blest quietness
    Clamorings cease;
    Here in Thy presence dwells
    Infinite peace;
    Yonder, the strife and cry,
    Yonder, the sin:
    Lord, I have shut the door,
    Thou art within!
  4. Lord, I have shut the door,
    Strengthen my heart;
    Yonder awaits the task—
    I share a part;
    Only through grace bestowed
    May I be true;
    Here, while alone with Thee,
    My strength renew.
