That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul”

When songs I wove for my beloved hide the prayer,
And smoke from this dead heart drifts through the violet air
And covers away the smoke of myrrh and frankincense;
Bend down and pray for all that sin I wove in song....”

Under his own vine what he plants, and sing
The merry songs of peace to all his neighbors.”
