| *Because of You* Eunice Elmore Heizer Because of you my heart is glad today, And through my mind there runs a soft refrain Of song, that echoes as I work or play, Because I soon shall hear your voice again. The sun is brighter than it was before Because I know your love is ever true. The sky is bluer through the open door, And I am well content because of you. Now, ever in my heart, there seems to be An aim, an ardent wish, a constant prayer That any place my duty beckons me, That you'll be ever faithful, near me there; That through the midst of swiftly passing years, Your love will still remain so tried and true; That I can wait and laugh at all my fears And whisper, "I'm content," because of you. |
