’Till refreshing dews from heaven

Guide us on day by day.

God’s love and light will sustain us

Like the lily so fair

We will drink of His sweet fragrance

And banish ev’ry care.

LOVE’S SECRET.

I breathe it to the rose at dawn,

To the violets blue,

The secret of my soul new born,

And love ’tis all of you.

I tell them of a vision fair,

A dream of bliss divine,

And as their perfume fills the air,

My heart seeks only thine.

I plucked the buds all blushing red,

The violets so blue,

They seem to say with drooping heads
