LyicsSoft be the gently breathing notes
That sing the Savior's dying love;
Soft as the evening zephyr floats,
Soft as the tuneful lyres above,
Soft as the morning dews descend,
While the sweet lark exulting soars:
So soft to your Almighty friend
Be every sigh your bosom pours.
Pure as the sun's enliv'ning ray,
That scatters life and joy abroad;
Pure as the lucid car of day,
That wide proclaims its Maker God.
True as the magnet to the pole,
So true let your contrition be,
So true let all your sorrows roll
To him who bled upon the tree.
