The Morning Stars Sang Together ‎#111

111. O harmony!

1 O harmony, my heart's delight;
My joy and solace day and night;
Then have I chosen for my own,
And thou shalt be my love alone,
Thee have I chosen for my own,
And Thou shalt be my love alone.

2 Let those contemn who prize thee not,
I leave them to their tuneless lot;
And when distress or care assail,
Thou, my sweet solace, ne'er shalt fail,
And when distress or care assail,
Thou, my sweet solace, ne'er shalt fail.

3 But when sore griefs oppress the heart,
When health, and joy, and strength depart,
My heart in grateful love shall swell
To Him, who doeth all things well,
My heart in grateful love shall swell,
To Him, who doeth all things well.

4 To Him, of life and light the spring,
I raise my heart and voice to sing;
Then music, thou indeed shalt be
A rich inheritance to me!
Then music, thou in deed shalt be
A rich inheritance to me!
