Poem Title:
Poem
The rabid bite of bitter news ping-pong from my senses And pile with the vanity of earth's cares in a frazzled heap The songs of Zion like rivers sweet make my defences Sublime as Him who is the tried tower of the faith I keep. O in the night when the storms are wild And waves come wanton against my flesh I sing the Psalms of Zion and like a child Know peace where billowing waters thresh. O sings the songs of hope and peace, rest On the promises of Christ in love's loveliness The trust of many rust in gold, and silver hopes slip away The center has fallen and nothing holds, all that blooms So soon decay. But the songs of Zion forever they stay Balming the heart with incense of grace and love's perfumes Drawing me closer into the fold, O I yield My yearning heart to thee, Lamb of Calvary And when in the presence at last I am kneeled I'll pour my soul in praise for thy joy's victory O sings the songs of hope and peace, rest On the promises of Christ in love's loveliness These are the words that keep my faith, truth of the gospel Vesselled in me, truth of the gospel triumphant in songs Marvelous hope of redemption to tell, tones of mercy to swell From the ruin of Eden to the mast of the cross, O songs Of Zion, Psalms of Zion, God of Zion, all hear I am overflowing with his goodness and grace Zion open wide for me, I shall soon be there To be like him when our love comes face to face. O sings the songs of hope and peace, rest On the promises of Christ in love's loveliness
