God Steps . . .

 

Silent steps

By

Rabindranath tagore

 

Have you not heard God’s silent steps?

God comes, comes, ever comes.

Every moment and every age,

Every day and every night

God comes, comes, ever comes.

 

Many a song I sung in many a mood of mind,

but all their notes have always proclaimed,

‘God comes, comes, ever comes.’

 

 In the fragrant days of sunny April through the forest path God comes, comes, ever comes.

In the rainy gloom of July nights on the

thundering chariot of clouds

God comes, comes, ever comes.

 

In sorrow after sorrow

it is God’s steps that press upon my heart,

and it is the golden touch of God’s feet

that makes my joy to shine.
