Through the Long Night

Now through the long night wander,

Light small, secure within!

Repeat the Name in marvel,

The song of Grace begin.

Companioned or alone

We move in mystic choir,

Each tone a golden vessel

Filled with liquid fire.

Music with me, find voice

Of harmony through change -

A Master-note of life

Supports our mortal range.

No trumpet calls to herald

The unforeseen delight -

O sweet inviolate smile,

Break on our timid sight!

Full is this sacred hour

Of a melodious earth,

Thy voice's flute-song, Lord,

Enraptures the flower of birth.
