I'll Leave It To You Part 27

Words by ESMe WYNNE.

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 s.h.i.+nes

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.]
