Precious words like music stealing O'er the troubled heart opprest ; To the weary, fainting spirit. Breathing comfort, hope, and rest.
Thou . . wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind . . is stayed on Thee, . . . Because . . he trusteth in Thee . . because . . he trusteth in Thee. . . .
2. Precious words that cheer us onward, When the day is dark and drear ; Lighting up the path before us, While their loving tones we hear.
3. Precious words of holy promise, From the home of angels bright ; By the Spirit softly whispered In the silent hours of night.
4. Precious words that lift us upward, All our earthly cares above ; To the Fount of life eternal, And the source of endless love.
