Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence,

Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence,

Of all that I love here on earth.

All the beauty I see He has given to me,

And His giving is gentle as silence.

Songs for school assembly:

Oh, the love of my Lord is the essence,

Of all that I love here on earth.

All the beauty I see He has given to me,

And His giving is gentle as silence.

Everyday, every hour, every moment,

Have been blessed by the strength of His love.

At the turn of each tide, He is there at my side,

And His touch is as gentle as silence.
