This
is the secret of the joyful heart:
To know,
beyond the shadow of a doubt,
True happiness
and peace are quite apart
From mortal seeming; Love is round about.
Though mists of mortal
sense may seem to hide
The
light of Truth, yet Love will break the spell,
Reveal the
glorious fact that none beside
Our
Father reigns; within His house we
dwell.
Here find we Life
eternal; here no lie
Can
entrance gain, where God alone has power.
Freed from the
dream, we find that Love is nigh;
Rejoice in His sweet presence hour by
hour.
