And he is come! To whom the praise, The joy of heaven, belong; My face I veil, my hands I raise, And "silence is my song."

And now to me the gladdest thing Be his sweet will alone; Content, since I am with the King, To make his choice my own.

He makes his palace in my soul, He brings my spirit nigh; Within my heart, 'neath his control I dwell — my Lord and I!
