O silly sparrow~ thou smallest bird
A-trembling in the holy word~
In brokenness thy song laments
With tears a-drip~ the heart is rent.
My Lord said, do you love me?
Will you trust me in the dark?
My Lord, my God, thou knowest me
In every secret part.
So in the storm, he sends forth stillness
To the heaving heart, his gentle word
Peace past understanding~
(O silly sparrow, smallest bird.)
O Lord of glory, King of the morning
What thou sayest, I will ever do
The heart that burned and faltered
Awash in thy merciful dew.
