Perhaps it may turn out a sang,
Perhaps turn out a sermon.

A Song of Ascents

Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in His ways. -- Psalm 128:1

O, Lord my God,
Come dwell in me.
Fill me with Your grace and peace,
With hints and scents of eternity,
An end to all our enmity.
Empty me
Of pride and self-delicacy.

And with discretion let me walk,
And with much silence let me talk,
As I tread the dust and grass
Until with hope and longing, last,
Enter heaven, find my place
Where I have known You face to face.
