Thy Way

Have thou thy way with me, O, Lord,
E’en tho I beg mine own;
Heed not the body’s noisy cry
But the spirit’s undertone.
Have thou thy way with me, O, Lord,
And O, my soul take care
To have thy daily attitude
In keeping with thy prayer!

Poems of the Way,

Keep Sweet

Soul, let nothing make thee fretful,
   Nothing bitter or regretful.
Heart, keep sweet, keep sweet!
   And all day long
E’en from the moment of thy waking,
   Let a song
Keep welling from a heart that’s breaking,
   Soul, keep sweet, keep sweet!

Poems of the Way

Your Garden of Life

What have you planted in your garden of life?
It’s not too late to …
Plant three rows of peas:
   Peace of mind
   Peace of heart
   Peace of soul

Deep Waters and a Bubbling Brook

Few like Daniel live today,
Swift to hearken and obey.
Worshipful and apt to pray;
Life conformed to God’s own way.

Poems of the Way

To will what God wills, this brings peace.
