| Show g SOUL MUSIC IE TIB not when life looks fairest to our eyes s when cloudless shines the blue of summer B skies when happiness doth all our cup with joy and with its sweetness all our senses cloy P and we in deep content our slumber take the human soul doth rouse itself and wake not when all our friends do praise and cheer when parents children lovers all are near when blithe and gay we dance and sing ana laugh and greedily the cup of pleasure quaff when peaceful down lifes stream we glide along the human soul sol doth find its voice for song but when lites lifes bitter storms hath washed us oer and heart wrecked tossed us fainting on the shore when all our hopes have hare long to ashes burned and weve in sorrows school its lesson learned when blindly groping we the way do seek then the human soul doth wake and speak and with its heart strings tuned to sorrows lay the god sent strains the saddest music play and with its solemn chants so low and sweet the soul lies prostrate at its saviors feet and bending low in tenderness and love the bruised heart is taught to look above tie then the soul is fitted for its work and blossoms burst where only seeds did lurk and glorious music grand and pure and high in triumph swells its cadence to the sky dost dest think the price too dear too sad the goal to learn to sing the music of the soul |
