When First I Saw Your Face, Love

When first I saw your face, love,

I knew my search was done,

You passed my lonely place, love,

The light I sought was won,

When your steadfast eyes looked down on me,

And I arose to follow thee.

And something in your smile, love,

I knew to be a part

Of joy that for a while, love,

Had slumbered in my heart:

To what sweet music it awoke,

When first you turned to me and spoke!
