Hymns from Nineveh A Silent Asylum song lyrics
I went to the silent asylum
there was a sight to behold
there in a pen lay a mother
holding her babe newborn.
Hence, I asked, wearied by travel
"what is the name of the child?"
Not with her tongue, not in language,
she countered with eyes so mild:
"The Everlasting Father!
Wonderful Counselor!
Conundrum of the Heavens!
Paradox of the Earth!
A Promise to all Nations!
A Fountain of Light!
The Everlasting Father!
Wonderful Counselor!"
