Pained life is ebbing Long toil is ceasing One more step Now it becomes clear Came the morning sun And the pain was fled At last she could run And a memory Of long ago Was swiftly returned As the garden trail Unwound ahead At last she could see The singer of her hearts song Waiting for her Even then He smiled And the music filled her silent spaces Welling up and wild Sent the darkness of her soul Fleeing far All the bitterness gone All the sorrow has sped And taken the dread So far from her mind That the years were unkind As the singer revealed Her hearts desires Even then He smiled And the music filled her silent spaces Welling up and wild Sent the darkness of her soul Fleeing far He could sing For He knew every note of her Just then she realized That this beauty was meant only for her Just for her! So she danced down the trails as the day passed Who has heard, the wind that stirred Through branches of a tree Whose very name is Life? Here He has walked In splendor through the ages Came the twilight dreams of an evening fair As the coolness crept through the scented air And her heart was glad and free from care For He knew her wish and her every prayer Here, one heart is whole at last Now, one heart, once torn, recast Here, one heart may sing at last Now, one heart forgets the past
