There is a peace that passeth under-

standing;

There is a joy the world can never

know;

There is a light ---you will not find it

burning

On any land or sea where'er you go.

This joy of mine is not of earthly

making,

Though you may find it in the sun-

set's blush;

Above the noise and din of human

striving

There is a Presence and a holy hush!
