Because, [bad word] to me,
with naught save love,
and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above,
a wider world of hope and joy I see,
because [bad word] to me!
 
Because you speak to me in accent sweet,
I find the roses waking 'round my feet,
and I am led through tears and joy to thee,
because you speak to me!
 
Because God made thee mine,
I’ll cherish thee,
through light and darkness through all time to be,
and pray His love may make our love divine,
because God made thee mine!
