So take Joy home
And make a place in thy great heart for her,
And give her time to grow and cherish her;
Then will she come, and oft will sing to thee,
Then will she come, and oft will sing to thee,
When thou art working in the furrows; ay,
Or weeding in the sacred hour of dawn.
It is a comely fashion to be glad,-
It is a comely fashion to be glad,-
Joy is the grace we say to God.
