In the calm abode behind the heart I hear Thoughts that lie too deep for mind to sound A voice that in the stillness speaks so clear, The auditory province of the soul.
I have looked into the very face of fear When body assailed by cancer's force grew pale, And felt the Presence drawing ever near And knew the Grace that guides with sure control
Every moment's destiny and know That where the Mother is ourselves abide, And when we plunge in the Unknown we go Towards Her light that leads us to our goal,
A life eternal gathered round Their feet, The Lord's embrace, most beautiful, most sweet.
