I simply stood arrested By the beauty of his eyes And a silence that attested To a god from greater skies
Descended to uplift us Out of mind's infirmity, Around his head the nimbus Of heaven's theocracy.
With the homage of my heart I offered the secret place Asking never to depart From His majesty of Grace.
I prayed for a vast surrender As earth's to its brilliant sun And saw in his gaze the tender Sweetness of the One.
Now all my days descry The working of his will, Our nature to sanctify Our lives with God fulfil.
