Hymn--By David Sermersheim--United States

Hymn

let the song possess you

its sound pass through you

let the air move round you

light burn into you

let us sing with joy of simple things 

and good dwelling within

let us move gently when we tread

touching all in cheer and fond memory

carrying images of those who

came before and rest in peace within
