Comfort

Has not your heart burned within you at evening’s
                       Holy hour and calm as if it is in most depths discerned
                      the presence of a loftier power? 

                         It was God’s voice which spoke in silence to your silent
                      heart and bade each worthier thought awake, and every
                      dream of earth depart

                     Oh voice of God, forever close, in low sweet accents
                  whispering peace, make us your harmonies to hear the 
                  heavenly echoes which never stop
