Pearl-Threads of Light
The lake beneath the sunny gleam,
Becomes a poem and a dream.

On jade-green leaves so soft and bright,
White summer jasmine blooms in light.
On hidden threads of pearls so deep,
A morning hope wakes from its sleep.

From ancient times its blessings flow.
This world is ready now for me,
A treasure of eternity.

And thank You, Lord, who gave it birth.

Your spirit in the mist I see.
In streams of gold that softly fall,
To bless the world and heal us all.
Through sun and rain, through wind and wild,
You are my Father, I Your child.
Through hills and vales, through sand and sea,
Your loving hand is holding me.

A rich and blessed summer yield.

Dispels the winter's silent gloom.
