SONGS OF THE SOUL
THE SPLINTERS OF THY LOVE
The splinters of Thy love
Lie strewn in many a heart:
The little fragments of Thy love,
Descended from far above,
I find spread here and there, and charm’d I start
To seize all and with care collect.
I feel as I reflect
That I have certes seen somewhere
Thy whole unbroken love that’s everywhere;
And with devotion strong
I weld my varied collection
Of tiny bits of parental, friendly love in one
To match it with Thy own.

Thy whole unbroken love that’s everywhere;
And with devotion strong
I weld my varied collection
Of tiny bits of parental, friendly love in one
To match it with Thy own.
