Places on the Way - Safe Havens


‘luzzijiet (Maltese Traditional Boats) moored at Salina inlet Qawra Malta’ 

by Paul Collings


Psalm 4:8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.


The prefect calm of tranquil sea,

Of stillness, rest, there just to be

At anchor at the end of day

As westward dips the sunset’s ray


To safely moor when work is done

And thence to journey onward home

Is a delight of life’s rich form

A solace deep away from storm.


That lasting peace, Lord, to imbibe 

And in your safety there abide,

This is my quiet evening prayer

Lord, to rest here in you care.


“Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.” St Augustine
