Sweet is the Sound Lyrics

Over the fence and what do I see
the grasses in the field waving back at me
hidden in the willow, the starling's song has just begun
What sound is this, oh tell me what voice
speaking out my name, cause me to rejoice
Look on me with favor, call me your beloved one


Call me by my name, I take thee at thy word
Call me but love and I'm forever yours

Sweet is the sound of your voice's call
like honeysuckle vine growing up my wall
like the yellow in the daisy, violet in the blazing-star
You're gentle like the wind and it kissed my face
I can't help but smile when I walk these days
Speak to me of peace, sing to me of who you are

Call me by my name, I take thee at thy word
Call me but love and I'm forever yours
