HEART OF GOLD
One, a woman freed from dross
This heart of gold possessed:
'Twas not the cost.
That souled her rest,
But Christ, who saved the lost.

One, had 'a heart of gold,
That helped along the way;
In kindness manifold,
That held a Heaven taught sway,
And rocked the soul.

One, had a heart of gold
That soothed the grief
Of many in the fold,
Where twined the wreath
Of sorrow round the soul,

One, had a heart of gold
That shone in beauty's gleam;
Its warmth dispelled the cold
And made one dream
The priceless value of a soul.
