Music by NOeL COWARD.
_Andante grazioso._
1. The sweetest name that ever I heard is
Faith,... Oh! fair-er than the voice of Spring it seems;.... I
think all day on its de-light, And when my eyes are dim with night A single star shines
ever thro" my dreams.... The star of Faith.
2. The dearest name that ever I heard is
Faith,... Though all the gifts of G.o.d were mine to choose.... And
I were Lord of night and day, At Love"s dear shrine I still would pray "For Thee this pow"r and
treasure I would lose.".... Just give me Faith.]
