O loving heart, trust on

There are thoughts which seem to come from heaven

To calm all pain and strife;

As dew falls on the parched flow'r

To nurture it, to nourish it, to life.

There came to me a happy thought,

One morn when hope seem'd gone;

It whisper'd low in accents sweet,

O loving heart, trust on, trust on,

One true heart beats for you alone.

That happy thought shed o'er my life...

A bright and joyful ray,

As sunlight gilds the night's dim clouds

Ere breaks the glorious day...

My soul is bathed in sunshine.

All gloomy dreams are gone;

For that happy thought still whispers,

O loving heart, trust on, trust on,

One true heart beats for you alone.
