First Line: Hast thou not heard within some sacred pile
Last Line: In calmest melody his sweet words roll.
Subject(s): God; Melodies; Music & Musicians
HAST thou not heard within some sacred pile,
When hushed the swelling choir, through vaulted aisle
A sweet low echo lingering of the song,
As would angelic harps the sound prolong?
So through the silent chambers of my soul,
In calmest melody His sweet words roll.
