by Alice Mary Buckton (1867 - 1944)
The heart worships
Language: English
Silence in Heav'n, Silence on Earth Silence within! Thy hush, O Lord, O'er all the world covers the din. I do not fear to speak of thee in mortal kind And yet to all thy namelessness I am not blind. Only I need and kneel again Thy touch to win; Silence in Heav'n Silence on Earth Silence within!
