God's Voice

I hear God's voice in the gentle rain

That softly falls on my window pane.

I hear God's voice in the wind that blows

O'er fragrant meadows and winter snows.

I hear God's voice in the heaving sea,

In song of wind and in hum of bee.

I hear God's voice in the hush of night;

At evening's close and noon's bright light.

I hear God's voice in all mankind,

In childhood's laughter, in gifted mind.

I hear God's voice in the frail and old,

In the strong and vibrant - we make one fold.

The voice speaks ever of peace and love,

Of joy unending in Heaven above.

God made this earth for our delight;

Let us sing His praise by day and night.

~ Rev. Thomas Foy
