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.
