OME, in the minstrel's lay;
When two hearts meet,
And true hearts greet,
And all is morn and May.
COME THOU
OME, in the minstrel's lay; When two hearts meet,
And true hearts greet,
And all is morn and May.
Come Thou! and now, anew,
To thought and deed
Give sober speed,
Thy will to know, and do.
To thought and deed
Give sober speed,
Thy will to know, and do.
Stay! till the storms are o'er—
The cold blasts done,
The reign of heaven begun,
And Love, the evermore.
The cold blasts done,
The reign of heaven begun,
And Love, the evermore.
Be patient, waiting heart:
Light, Love divine
Is here, and thine;
You therefore cannot part.
Light, Love divine
Is here, and thine;
You therefore cannot part.
"The seasons come and go:
Love, like the sea,
Rolls on with thee,—
But knows no ebb and flow.
Love, like the sea,
Rolls on with thee,—
But knows no ebb and flow.
"Faith, hope, and tears, triune,
Above the sod
Find peace in God,
And one eternal noon."
Above the sod
Find peace in God,
And one eternal noon."
Oh, Thou hast heard my prayer;
And I am blest!
This is Thy high behest:
Thou, here and everywhere.
And I am blest!
This is Thy high behest:
Thou, here and everywhere.
