Her light English eyes

Your light English eyes

Round figure and vivacious smile

Candour qualities and respectable charm

Warms my heart whenever far or nigh.

I see you whenever it's time to worship
I see your face; and your thoughts I tried to put away
I am torn and when I'm on my knees I see your countenance
The eloquence of His grace takes me far away.

I am far too busy to fall in love
If I ask her to marry me, she may still my love for Christ
Yet I long to be hers; hand by hand on the pilgrim way.

Fresh courage I take today, to declare in letter my love to thee;
You need not be afraid in refusing my proposal
For bless God he will free me from this passion if need.

I am convince this is the will of God
That I should altar my state
Your denial will prove to me
You were not the pilgrim marked out for my way.

 Love for a woman could and will not dislodge my Love for Christ
But many times I have wished of you to be my One.
I would not marry but for Him and in Him, for ten thousands worlds.
Christ is my Life and my all and my God.

Her light English eyes
Round figure and vivacious smile
Candour qualities and respectable charm
Warms my heart whenever far or nigh.
