HYMN XLII

A charm to reconcile estranged friends

1I loose the anger from thy heart as 'twere the bowstring from a
   bow,
  That we, one-minded now, may walk together as familiar
   friends.
2Together let us walk as friends: thy wrathful feeling I remove.
  Beneath a heavy stone we cast thy wrath away and bury it.
3I trample on thine anger thus, I tread it down with heel and toe:
  So dost thou yield thee to my will, to speak no more rebelliously.
