I Have Known a Love

I have known a love transcending mere desire

Who through ages unremembered blesses me,

In whose lucent eyes a sweet and holy fire

Burns, as we together grow towards Thee.

So many thy gifts I humbly do avow

And of these surely she the eternal gift;

Descending the peace and stillness gather now

As to Thy Light our souls in concert lift.

Dawns sweetly the awareness of Thy Grace

Informing every breath, each step I take,

A flaming offering fills the sacred space

All past attachments quietly now forsake.

In silence hear the psychic being's prayer,

To live for Thee and climb the golden stair.
