Gladys Brown Prince - Silence

Silence is golden the world does say
But not golden for those who won’t pray
For if in your heart you do not repent
It will give you no peace but discontent
Pray loudly while there is strength
Communion is sweet with Christ at length

Silence is golden when in it there’s love
Of Him who came from the Father above
To hear His soft sweet and tender voice
Say come my child and rest a while
For under His wings eternity clings
And there He’ll bring many saints

If silence was best then why all the rest
So sweetly sing and confess at their best
They leave all the past and stick to the task
Of making Him Lord in all of their walk
They never here miss His dear tender kiss
Reminding them of the near land of bliss

If silence is the choice you consciously made
Then use it more wisely as perhaps just an aid
To help you to listen to what has been said
And make good decision so you can get ahead
For silence is a tool no fool wants to use
So if taken lightly you do stand to lose

Make silence an option you may choose to use
But not your main focus unless you are confused
You use it with caution when not enthused
And guard your emotion while in the muse
Make your words few while having a view
So silence can come and counter curfew
