"Sweet hymns shall be my chant and woven songs, For Thou art all for which my spirit longs-- To be within the shadow of Thy hand And all Thy mystery to understand. The while Thy glory is upon my tongue, My inmost heart with love of thee is wrung, So though Thy mighty marvels I proclaim, 'Tis songs of love wherewith I greet Thy name."
