In Love With The Lord

A Prayer for Gentle Hearts and Lofty Minds

With gentle hearts and lofty minds to approve the past our love grows. Receive the triumph destined to our hands, our hearts and souls so dutiful in thought and deed. Through thee communion with that love I seek, the faith heaven strengthens where he molds the creed, pleased with our triumphs. Accept from his bold hands the proffered crown of hope and smiles from the marvels he hath wrought. I now melt away within you like a dream you my inspirer, in faithful scales upon frail ties dissolving and dissolved on earth. We will be revived, we trust in heaven thanks to thy virtues of all your goodness to your large heart. Your kindly emotion lends to console and reconcile I exalt in thoughtful gratitude. My faith in progress, you have been my tower of strength. I have always felt so shielded, so protected. My heart is ever light and in your care, with tenderness beyond dreams as you have touched me affectionately. What you have written to me only expresses mere fragments of your vision… and in time this whole vision will appear. We have now learned to see, and hear and believe - there is no longer a division between us. Our darkness has become part of our light and our trials have become our strength. To think of these things wakes my thoughts of you, that pain is no longer all of consciousness, for our future that I see is now so dear to me. It is like the resolution of greatest dissonances in great music: it is so deep and beautiful and like the reconciliation of life. This is profound to me.
