Some days my whole being aches
For days gone by —
Some sweet,
Others filled with longing for some still undisclosed future —
...
Mountain Highway lift me high
Where the treetops touch the sky
Then home to where the ocean sings
Of surf and stars, wind and wings.
...
A friend in need's
A friend indeed —
A faithful saying, true,
...
Would that I could fly,
As birds up in the sky.
High above the ground,
Lost in silent sound,
...
Guardian angels in the skies
Watching o'er me, and in their eyes
The love of God and mercy great,
That heals this world of pain and hate.
...
From Earth's greenest pastures
To those greener still,
I'll follow my Shepherd
To heaven's high hill.
...
Keep me satisfied, ever with Thee;
Craving, clinging, ever needful.
Yearning, let my complete desire be
To find in Thee my life, my whole.
...
This morning, as I slumbered,
A tune ran through my head;
A song that seemed unnumbered
Among the ones I'd read.
...
