The Eye of Joy’s Hold
What is this joy but a moment that sees,
Glimpses the time when all hindrances free.
All of our cares, when the burdens we bear,
Lift from our hearts and there our lives share.
Love in the fellowship, sweet honeyed noon.
All of us swaying to the music in a swoon.
Lifted with faces that shine with delight,
Oh, I can see this, I see it tonight.
What is this Life that the heart can behold,
Held in a moment, with the eye of Joy’s Hold.
Come let us join, let us share in the sweet fold,
Kept in that joy, in the story here told.
