Joy unlooked for is a gift you bring, O Beloved Master,
a touch of hope within the night
like a promise of light
that tells us darkness has an end.
A drop of everlasting water, this gift you bring,
a touch of balm to soothe the grieving heart
breaking, hopeless, torn apart
lost in remorse for its sin.
A gift that will bloom like the fairest rose, this joy,
a gift held in the hand of our unseen lover,
a kiss from Heaven, there to hover
and soothe the aching of one's soul.
Offered freely by the most generous of hearts, Your gift,
a pearl filled with the promise of heaven,
in purity, perfection,
this is the joy you plant within our hearts.
Be enthroned in my heart, O Master,
You who bought that pearl so bright,
giving your all to give us your light,
the joy that comes from walking with you.
From darkness into the light, hand in hand,
Let me walk with you at my side,
And in the perfect joy that only you can provide,
may I find my true home forever.
