Fair, fair maiden ~
apart from the herd you keep
Tho’ I’ve not heard your voice
Still Thy love sings deep.
Fair, fair maiden ~
apart from the herd you keep
I stand upon the edge of beauty
But tremble on the steep.
A long long
Cursed road winds upward
Lord forgive me!
I dare not leap.
Fair fair maiden ~
apart from the herd you keep
I know not
if you know my name
But I do know yours
What a beautiful name!
Oh
Your precious
love & care are all I aim.
Fair, fair maiden ~
apart from the herd you keep!
Tho’ I’ve not heard your voice
Still Thy love sings deep.
