Lyics

In silence of the voiceless night,
When, chased by dreams the slumbers flee,
Whom, in the darkness do I seek,
O God, but thee, O God, but thee.


And if there weigh upon my breast
Vague memories of the day forgone,
Scarce knowing why, I fly to thee,

And lay them down, and lay them down.


Or, if it be the gloom that comes,
In token of impending ill,
My bosom heeds not what it is,
Since 't is thy will, Since 't is thy will.


For O, in spite of constant care,
Or aught beside, how joyfully 
I pass that solitary hour,
My God, with thee, My God, with thee.
