Not a sound invades the stillness

- Not a sound invades the stillness,
- not a form invades the scene,
- save the voice of my Beloved
- and the person of my King.
- Precious, gentle, holy Jesus!
- Blessed Bridegroom of my heart,
- in Thy secret inner chamber,
- Thou wilt whisper what Thou art.
- And within those heavenly places,
- calmly hushed in sweet repose,
- there I drink, with joy absorbing
- all the love Thou wouldst disclose.
- Wrapped in deep adoring silence,
- Jesus, Lord, I dare not move,
- lest I lose the smallest saying
- meant to catch the ear of love.
- Rest then, O my soul, contented:
- Thou hast reached thy happy place,
- in the bosom of thy Saviour,
- gazing up in His dear face.
- In Tune two, the chorus is only sung after verses 2 & 4.
