'LOVE SONG'

 
WHEN SHALL I HEAR    YOU, LOVING
LORD,
WHEN SHALL I HEAR    YOU SPEAK ?
WHEN I MEDITATE IN SILENCE
BY A SLOWLY RUNNING CREEK ?
 
WHEN SHALL I HEAR     YOUR MUSIC
 LORD ?
EACH PURE AND MEASURED NOTE ?
WHEN A HAPPY TUNE IS RISING
FROM A SONGBIRD'S GOLDEN
THROAT !
 
WHEN SHALL I HEAR    YOUR
CONCERT,
LORD,
WHEN SHALL THE MUSIC PLAY ?
WHEN BROTHERHOOD AND LOVE
ABOUND
AND PEACE IS HERE TO STAY !
 
WHEN SHALL I HEAR    YOUR LYRICS,
LORD,
THOSE WORDS OF FAITH AND LOVE ?
WHEN I PRAY TO     YOU SINCERELY --
WHEN I'M ONE WITH     YOU ABOVE !
 
 
                  . . .The Prayer Of The Upright
                        Is His Delight.
                                         Proverbs   15:8
