– SELF SURRENDER –

Oh Lord, I know not what I ought to ask of Thee
Oh Father, give to Thy child, which he himself knows not how to ask,
I dare not ask either for crosses or consolation,
I simply present myself before Thee,
I open my heart to Thee,
Behold my needs, which I know not myself,
See and do according to Thy tender Mercy!
Smite or heal, depress me or raise me up,
I adore all Thy purposes without knowing them.
I am silent, I offer myself in sacrifice
I yield myself to Thee
I would have no other desire than to accomplish Thy will
Teach me to pray, to pray Thyself in me!

– INTUITION –

Ah ye the soul ignorant
Do not fret or fume over the present, Neither brood over the past,
Nor think much of the future.
To cleanse the mind just give a start
Watch well and never let it halt,
Until it learns to play its part,
In the journey of forward march.
0 wisdom! From whence do thou springeth?
The words of knowledge in the ears ringeth,
Mind dissolves and wisdom cometh
Knowledge deepens and the soul swimmeth,
Freely and blissfully in the everlasting light
Gaily the soul riseth as a kite
From the bottom of the heart flows devotion
Lifting the soul into sweet salvation!
