Who Hath Ears To Hear Let Him Hear!
The sun doth not the hidden place reveal,Whence pours at morn his golden flood of light;
But what the night's dark breast would fain conceal,
In its true colors walks before our sight;
The bird does not betray the secret springs,
Whence note on note her music sweetly pours;
Yet turns the ear attentive while she sings,
The willing heart while falls the strain adores;
120
But in its light thine untold deeds lay bare;
And while it walks with thee flesh-clothed the earth,
Its words shall of the Father's love declare:
And happy those whose ears shall hail its voice,
And clean within the day it gives rejoice.
Poem No. 577; late 1838–early 1839
