MEDITATION IN CHURCH (TO MY MOTHER) by CLYDE MCGEE

First Line: THE SOFT, CLEAR TONES OF ORGAN HEARD
Last Line: ALL THESE AND MORE, THOU ART TO ME.
Subject(s): CHURCHES; MEDITATION; PRAYER; CATHEDRALS;
The soft, clear tones of organ heard
Within this place of prayer;
The pure, white flame of candles
Burning on altar there;
The sheltering strength of arches wide,
The joy and peace that here abide,
The mystic sense of beauty felt
Where humble hearts in prayer have knelt,
All these and more, O spirit free,
All these and more, thou art to me.
