Good-Will Songs ‎#93

93. Love is and was my Lord and King

1 Love is and was my Lord and King,
And in his presence I attend
To hear the tidings of my Friend,
Which every hour his couriers bring.

2 Love is and was my King and Lord,
And will be, though as yet I keep
Within his court on earth, and sleep
Encompassed by his faithful guard.

3 And hear at times a sentinel
Who moves about from place to place,
And whispers to the worlds of space
In the deep night, that all is well.

4 And all is well, though faith and form
Be sundered in the night of fear;
Well roars the storm to those that hear
A deeper voice across the storm.
