Turn Aside

How busy art thou oh working one
that hast no time for wait
where silence doth escape thy life
can't interrupt thy gait

For God's dear sound hast thou thus missed
in all thy business fares
His still small voice is absent thee
for thou keep unaware

For listen thou His spoken word
thou canst not spare a sec
and peace with Him thou dost not know
nor in His quiet rest

For as did Moses turn aside
to God's fair burning bush
where God did speak in His pathway
and halt him from his rush

Thus His sheep too need hear His sound
His word and footpaths clear
God speaking through His written word
their destiny to steer

And quiet time must all we make
if we be soon to hear
direction from Almighty God
who waits till we draw near
