First Line: I cannot sound the depths of my own soul
Last Line: Thyself.
Subject(s): Eucharist; Communion
I cannot sound the depths of my own soul
And yet in silence, when I feel the stir of God,
I can thrust down, like roots below the sod,
Into the darkness of my hidden self,
And feel the largeness and the peace
Born of the Presence that is Absolute.
Perfection, that may be attained if striven for,
Bliss that can come from union with all things divine,
Such are my possibilities
And more.
Oh, God! Such power I find
Within my heart and mind
When I but listen to
Thy silence,
I dare not further penetrate.
I bow in wonder at
The Miracle
That brings me into
Sweet communion with
Thyself.
