The Eternal Promise

The Eternal Promise O' soft and promising gifts of delight, pour upon my weary and tired soul Wrap this clear moon in rapture tonight set me onto another lofty goal; Send again that cool flowing breeze, where the shallows stir so very soft There I may rest at my sweet ease, and let my spirit fly aloft. Thus may my spirit find its calling, walking steady toward its new home Even should I find myself falling I shall pray all the more as I roam; Send me again that refreshing wind, that graces the eternal gusts of love There may I find my promised end, And dwell in that heaven far above. O' soft and promising gifts of delight, pour upon my weary and tired soul Wrap this clear moon in rapture tonight set me onto another lofty goal. Send again that cool flowing breeze, where the shallows stir so very soft There I may rest at my sweet ease, and let my spirit fly aloft. R.J. Lindley Feb, 17th, 1978 Old Note- The repeated stanza is the rise yet again onto the path after the falling. For we all fall, many times. Yet steady back onto the correct path we may reach our goal. ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- New note- I am still awalkin'.................
