If you pause,
if you wait,
if you listen with a quiet heart—
you will wake to the light of God,
you will rejoice in the love of God.
In this hour, gentle as a silver bell with muted song,
in this silence, still as a moonbeam on a dreaming leaf—
you will feel His presence with inward joy,
you will find His image in cloudless thought—
if you pause,
if you wait,
if you listen with a quiet heart.
