“In the hush of Vows dear” from LWillows

woman-3498794__340

I invite you, I invite you
Spirit of God, near
This heart stilled silent
In the hush of vows dear.

Speak into all chambers
They open, they wait
Lifted towards you
With joy, with elate.

I name you, I name you
Spirit of God, near
Receiving graced mercy
In the hush of vows dear.

To added affliction he addeth his mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
