AMPHORA
IX
FT when our prayers and praises fail
On wings unfledged to reach the
Throne,
Thou takest them beneath the veil
And makest them Thine own.
Of all our callow vows and cold,
Born hardly to much bitterness,
Thy mercy takes effectual hold
And granteth them success.
Not by our passion or our will
The eager suppliant is heard,
But by the white ecstatic thrill
Of Thy serener word.
Accept our prayer, accept our praise,
O Thou all praise and prayer above !
O fix our weak and wavering will
On Thee, the Queen of Love !
Amen.
O
