Her beauty, such as I have never seen,
Her wisdom, such as I have never heard.
There only is one word: She is my Queen.
I'll always live and die upon her word.
Even as I wrote this, I disliked the recurrence of "word" that
close together. So I decided to rewrite the third line:
Her beauty, such as I have never seen,
Her wisdom, such as I have never heard.
I've said it many times: She is my Queen.
I'll always live and die upon her word.
In Joyful
Service,
Iain
