Hear Thou the Song of My Heart

I love these lyrics by Sally DeFord; today they speak to me...

          Hear Thou the song of my heart
          When as a burden there lies in my breast
          An anthem of praise no words can express
          Hear Thou the song of my heart

          Hear Thou the song of my heart
          When tears hush my voice as I ferverntly seek
          To offer Thee praise my soul cannot speak
          Hear Thou the song of my heart

          Hear Thou my joy unspoken
          Hear Thou my psalm unsung
          Accept Thou my quiet devotion
          Professed in no earthly tongue
          Hear 'neath my stillness unbroken
          A carol to my King
          And when my heart can find no voice
          Hear Thou the songs I cannot sing

          Hear Thou the song of my heart
          Though voiceless the anthem must often remain
          Hear Thou my love in the silent refrain
          Hear Thou the song of my heart
