THE INSPIRATION
These songs I sing to you, who song inspire.
Would I a message new might find and bring!
Or touch with a live spark of heavenly fire
These songs I sing!
Would I a message new might find and bring!
Or touch with a live spark of heavenly fire
These songs I sing!
Take them, for they are doves with fluttering wing,
They try to reach your window: lift them higher—
Up to your heart—there warm and nestling
They shall find home, and life! If love aspire
Shall it not speak? To voice a holy thing,
To voice the heart's deep need—the soul's desire
These songs I sing.
They try to reach your window: lift them higher—
Up to your heart—there warm and nestling
They shall find home, and life! If love aspire
Shall it not speak? To voice a holy thing,
To voice the heart's deep need—the soul's desire
These songs I sing.
