HOUNDS OF MY SOUL by GRACE STILLMAN MINCK

First Line: I HAVE SENT THE HOUNDS OF MY SOUL
Last Line: THROUGH THE HEAVY, CLOSE-DRAWN NIGHT.
Subject(s): WORSHIP;
I have sent the hounds of my soul
Over distant hills.
I have sent them searching for Thee,
My Lord and my God.
Forgive, forgive,
If they bay at a distant moon!
I have slipped their leash
And, panting along behind,
I hear their distant clamor --
Their chorused call.
I have sent the hounds of my soul
On an eager search,
Tracking Thy scent
Through the heavy, close-drawn night.
