Because of you my heart is glad today, And through my mind there runs a soft
refrain Of song, that echoes as I work or play, Because I soon shall hear your
voice again. The sun is brighter than it was before Because I know your love
is ever true. The sky is bluer through the open door, And I am well content
because of you.
Now, ever in my heart, there seems to be An aim, an ardent
wish, a constant prayer That any place my duty beckons me, That you'll be ever
faithful, near me there; That through the mist of swiftly passing years, Your
love will still remain so tried and true; That I can wait and laugh at all my
fears and whisper, "I'm content," because of you.
