Subject(s): Prayer
O GOD, my God, where'er Thou art,
Keep my belovèd in Thy Heart:
Fold in Thy Heart that heart so bright,
Heal him with Thy most gentle light.
And since Thou mad'st forgetfulness,
Forget whate'er Thou find'st amiss:
And since Thou mad'st remembering,
Remember every lovely thing.
And then, my God, lean down and see ...
And, pitying, remember me.
