Sacred chords

                          No religion can keep your heart alive,

                          no priest donates you true relieve,

                          there's a deep secret of almighty life,

                          an inner truth you must believe;

                          no church altar gives homely place to God,

                          nor the missals' Christian remorse,

                          there lives a light inside, shining across,

                          which vivifies your inner force;

                          listen, oh, my love, listen the music,

                          Happiness is singing within

                          your holy soul, admirably lucid,

                          sacred symphony of spirit,

                         God plays His own heavenly instruments

                         in your soul's golden concert hall,

                         yes, there He rests, in your heart's secure nest,

                         and personal, true love flows

                         by His saintly chords.
