I Have Learnt A Heavenly Secret,
Yet I Know Not How Or Where;
But I Know ‘Tis Sweet And Precious,
Ever True, And Glad, And Fair;
And That God In Heaven Reveals It
To All Whose Ears Can Hear.
And I Know That Ere I Learnt It
Oft My Way Was Lone And Hard;
And Anon In Life’s Glad Music
There Was Always That Which Jarred,
And A Hidden, Dreary Discord
That All Its Sweetness Marred.
But My Harp Of Life Was Lifted
By The Lord Who Knew The Range
Of Its Many Strings Who Made It,
And He Struck A Keynote Strange:
At The Touch Of Christ My Master
I Heard The Music Change.
Then No More It Failed And Faltered,
And No Longer Sobbed And Strove;
But It Seemed To Soar And Mingle
With The Song Of Heaven Above;
For The Pierced Hand Of Jesus
Had Struck The Keynote Love.
All Thy Heart’s Long-Prisoned Music
Let The Master’s Hand Set Free
Let Him Whisper Now His Secret,
As He Whispered Once To Me:
“Child, My Love’s The Golden Keynote
Of All My Will For Thee!
