Sunlit Hours

<SPAN name="V"></SPAN>V<br/> <br/> <br/> Remembering thy gracious gift to me,<br/> <span style="margin-left: 1em;">So simple, so profound,</span><br/> My wondering heart is lost in prayer to thee.<br/> How long it seemed before<br/> I, groping, found<br/> And knocked at thy heart's door;<br/> And from how far I came at last to thee<br/> Whose hands were stretched in silent<br/> search for me.<br/> My heart was eaten by corroding rust<br/> That preyed upon my strength,<br/> Defiled my trust;<br/> I was weary, I was old with long mistrust,<br/> I sickened of the roadway's empty length.<br/> When thy feet wandered into my life's way<br/> They brought a joy so exquisite to me<br/> That, trembling and in tears, I can but stay<br/> To worship silently.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
