Surrender

Surrender

O Thou of whom I am the instrument,
    O secret Spirit and Nature housed in me,
Let all my mortal being now be blent
    In Thy still glory of divinity.

I have given my mind to be dug Thy channel mind,
    I have offered up my will to be Thy will:
Let nothing of myself be left behind
    In our union mystic and unutterable.

My heart shall throb with the world-beats of Thy love,
    My body become Thy engine for earth-use;
In my nerves and veins Thy rapture's streams shall move;
    My thoughts shall be hounds of Light for Thy power to loose.

Keep only my soul to adore eternally
And meet Thee in each form and soul of Thee.
