Meditations on the Way: Poems of a Christian Journey

Speak to Me, Lord

Speak to my heart, most blessed Lord-

In scented words Your Gospel tell;

Teach me to pray, dear Jesus,

For I want to know You well.

That I may sit close to Your feet,

Give me some time today;

I will early seek Your presence sweet,

If You will only say!

So many things I want to know,

Beneath the sky above;

Beyond all knowledge, high and low,

I ask to know true love;

To love You as day turns to night,

With labour, rest and prayer;

And fashion, when the stars are bright,

A garland for Your hair.

Every time I stop to pray

A flower grows in Heaven-

On those in need bestow today

The love my heart has given.
