Your words are beautiful, O Lord,
They soothe the soul that's in distress,
And lighten now that heavy load,
So that our hearts such love, possess.
They ease the struggles of this life,
And rebuild our failing faith in Thee,
Helping us to travel through the strife,
When peace and happiness we'll see.
One heavenly Father, kind and true,
Whose love and trust is ours always,
In time we'll find your dwelling place,
And through eternity we'll safely graze.
