in moments tranquility fills up your eyes
(your highness surprising the loftiest skies) devotions like oceans tide motions arise from swellings and whisperings of wonderful sighs in moments our peace becomes perfectly clear after the stormclouds have shed enough tears our Angels are waiting to silence the fear Be Still! and you'll hear their soft footsteps tread near Eternity's promises nearer are found as love's golden circles have had our hearts bound at first in the heavens, and especially now; we go to continue this unbreakable round Sept. 2012
In beats of a heart breath after breath days become years the humble embrace such soft ebb and flow like buds after snow and live Oh suff’rer in the Garden, Alone and Spirit torn
What bitter dregs Thou drinkest, what anguish that is borne! What Holy Blood that falleth, what deep, soft cries of pain That stay from perfect judgment my everlasting stain! O Blest, Anointed Healer, and Savior of the Race, What gratitude I give Thee for thy redeeming grace! When darkness lurks around me, and bitter pains arise, I meet Thy stretching fingers, and agony subsides! Thou Glorified Immortal, and King of all the Earth What joy shall we discover when brought back to Thy Hearth! What joy! and exultation, when we meet Father then-- And bring to Him our Families with Eternity to spend! How oft shall I remember Thy Sacrifice Divine And, take up my own cross then, and follow after Thine! I’ll take Thy Name most willingly—Thy Flesh becometh mine-- And drink of living water, free-spilt from the True Vine |
