PRAYER by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: THOU BRINGEST THE RAINBOW AND THE PURPLE MORNING
Last Line: BRING ME. . . O BRING ME NOTHING BUT THE LOVE OF SERVING THEE.

THOU bringest the rainbow and the purple morning.
Bring me the love of a brooding hill.

Thou bringest the singing sycamore and the wind.
Bring me the joy of a wind-drenched soul.

Thou bringest the ivory tusk of moon.
Bring me the humility of stars.

Thou bringest this beauty to me as if I were God.
Bring me. . . O bring me nothing but the love of serving thee.
