The innate (Ives, set by C. Ives) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Voices live in every finite being,
In every Godless lifetime.
Hear them! Hear them in you! in others!
They sense truth deep in the Soul;
They know the things true Christians stand for.
Stand out! Come to Him without the things the world brings;
Come to Him! As a child and, as a poor man.
Christians give all. Christians have all.
