Love Will Find Out The Way

by James Nack

Though father and mother
Forbid me thy sight,
Though sister and brother
Against us unite,
Though all that surround us
To part us essay,
From all will I win thee --
Love will find out the way.

Though oceans may sunder,
Or mountains may close,
Or tempests may thunder
The path to oppose;
Though earthquakes between us
The abyss may display,
Through all will I win thee --
Love will find out the way.

Through forest and desert,
Through flood and through flame,
Through pain and through peril,
Through sorrow and shamne,
Through darkness and danger,
By night or by day,
Through death and destruction --
Love will find out the way.

Yes, I will regain thee,
My chosen, my best!
My bird! thou shalt nestle
Again in my breast;
This heart for thy refuge,
This arm for thy stay,
I will guard thee forever --
Love will find out the way.
