The poem begins with a “holy hush,” evoking the quiet reverence of a redeemed soul finding refuge in Jesus’ strength. This intimate reliance yields a “holy crown of peace and joy,” an image of bestowed serenity and exaltation. It circles back to “oh the holy hush,” framing the experience with a reflective echo that reinforces the sacred stillness, leaving the reader in a contemplative, tranquil space.
The repetition of “holy hush” bookends the line beautifully, emphasizing the calm as both the starting point and the lasting impression.
Oh the holy hush
of a redeemed soul
leaning into the strength
of Jesus brings a Holy
Crown of peace and joy!
Oh the holy hush!
