"Sweetness And Light"

Ah, dear God, dear love,
Hold my soul close to you.
It pains me above all things
To be separated from you.
Do not let my ardour grow cool.
Everything I do seems pointless and worthless
Unless it is done for your sake.
You sweeten our sufferings,
You lighten our burdens,
You console us in our anxieties.
You let us rest in your arms.

-- Mechthild Magdeburs

-- Psalms 23 (NLT)
"The LORD is my shepherd;
I have everything I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the dark valley of death,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me 
in the presence of my enemies.
You welcome me as a guest,
anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love
will pursue me all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the LORD
forever."

-- Psalms 27:14 
"Wait for the LORD; be strong, 
and let your heart take courage;
yea, wait for the LORD!"
