Refrain
The song is stilled, but throbbing deepThe dearest tones resound again;Courage and truth rise with the strain,To weary hearts, Rest's sweet, refrain;We silence the glad voice in vain,The tones but mutely rise again;O keep love's faith alight our eyes!When love's glow fails true honor dies;And keep our trust firm in love's power,Nor let it fail the waning hour,When mists of sleep drift from the seaAnd clasp us in their mystery.
