Songs and Seas

I am in love with voice and song
To that which gives, and gives no wrong
Who sings and notes of things unknown
And gives to man what God has shown

I sing with love and all the while
A saddened heart looks up to smile,
The lowest fiend would walk his miles,
And Hercules would fail his trials

Who sings amidst their deepest woes?
Who chants to God where'er he goes?
A lightened heart, renewed and ready
His feet sojourned, and soul yet steady

He sails the seas and mutes him not
For all the waves the tempest wrought
No trifle worries, no fear be found--
The love of life and light abound
