Pieces of Silver

Silver droplets fall from honest eyes.
How God hates the world's disguise.
O Lord of glory send forth thy rain:
Thy holy word, 

Our sweet refrain.

Behold the light that dances
On waters replete with joy;
Thy word is true! 

Thy wing o'erspeads!
(And so our songs employ.)

O fountain of life overwashing,
Thy replenishing rains compel:
The song of the Lamb~

And humble praise~

Therein thy Spirit dwells.


O Lord of light upspringing
In hearts broken at the Master's feet~
With pieces of silver we testify 
Of thy mercy and truth, 

So sweet.


O Lord of glory come fill this, thy temple~

And bless thy living, righteous seed~
That thy Gospel might shine 

Unto all the earth~

And we might ever live, in thee.
