Signs of the Heart

Signs of the Heart

Poem by: Mary Baker Eddy
Composer: Michelle J. Gonzalez

Come to me, joys of Heaven!
Breathe through the summer air –
A balm, the long-lost leaven,
Dissolving death, despair!
O little Heart, to me thou art
A sign that can never depart,
O that can never depart.

Come to me, peace on Earth!
From out life’s billowy sea,
A wave of welcome birth,
The Life that lives in Thee.
O Love divine, this heart of Thine
Is all I need to comfort mine.

Come when the shadows fall,
And night grows deeply dark –
The barren brood, O call with song
Of morning lark;
And from Above,
Dear Heart of Love,
Send us thy white-winged dove.
