EVERMORE THOU ART VOICE OF MY HEART, by

Last Line: Evermore, thou art voice of my heart.
Subject(s): Happiness; Hearts; Love; Joy; Delight


'Tis from Heaven, not earth, when thy lovely sweet voice
Strikes responsive chords deep in my heart,
Lending beauty and color to commonplace words
Whose true meaning thy soul doth impart.

For God's Heaven is near, when I gaze in thine eyes,
Through those entrance gates standing ajar;
And whilst thou art singing, 'tis my soul that doth hear
Through those portals a voice from afar.

'Tis the voice of thy soul that doth lift me to heights,
Where the spirit of song dwells apart;
'Tis from Heaven, not earth, thou sweet maid of my dreams,
Evermore, thou art voice of my heart.
