The Rosary
(专辑: Good Night, Dear Lord - 1958)
The
hours I
spent with Thee, Dear Heart! Or, as a
string of pearls to Thee, I
count them over, every one apart, My rosary, my rosary... Each hour a
pearl, each pearl a
prayer, To still a
heart in absence wrung, I
tell each bead unto the
end, And there a
cross is hung... O' memories that bless and burn, O' barren gain and bitter loss, I
kiss each bead and strive at last to learn, To kiss the
cross, Sweet Heart, To kiss the
cross... I
kiss each bead and strive at last to learn, To kiss the
cross, Sweet Heart, To kiss the
cross... (to kiss the
cross)
