My
tears are flowing
Like
a gentle stream
Over
cheeks and lips
As
I am touched by Your
Gracious
Words, and You bid
The
inner tumult to cease,
Teaching
me, dear God, Your peace.
I
in gratitude to You,
O
Beloved! I can see
There
I was to be
In
sadness, and a
Loss
of tranquility—
Through
a silent prayer
My
heart was safe from enmity,
Rising
up again to You,
Peace
to all, and to him and me -- it sang
Of
Your immediacy, and
Will
not let me go astray
But
fulfills in its silent way:
“Let
no vacuum ever there be.”
Your
dear love always reaches me
Like
the fullness of a morning beam,
I
am free of tears, and all shadows flee.
