Prayer to the Lord Within

O Lord of beauty hidden still within

Disclose to us the marvel-key of change

Opening that third and truest eye

To majesties beyond perception's range.

O Lord of wonder veiled in pure delight

Impress upon our green and destined earth

The image of thy godhead fire-bright,

The unifying principle at birth.

O Lord of love unblemished sanctify

And cleanse from our hearts the sin of separateness

Our days anoint, our souls beatify

Our tenuous and halting efforts bless.

Open our hearts to the One so long denied

Prepare us to meet again, Heaven's bride.
