The Aspiration of My Life

Make me conscious, doubt rescind,

The spools of memory unwind,

In a naked blaze of offering

Union with Thee let me find.

All my sorrows, all my tears

Are spent, for Thee alone I pray

And consecrate each conscious breath,

Renew with every passing day

The aspiration of my life,

The promises my soul shall keep,

In every cell repeat Thy name

That from my heart a flame shall leap

To meet the One who from me hides

Yet in my greater self abides.
