1. Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray;
This is my heart-cry, day unto day.
I long to know Thy will and Thy way;
Teach me to pray, Lord, teach me to pray.
Refrain
Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,
constant abiding, this is my plea;
Grant me Thy power, boundless [...]

I see God in a pansy so small,
In an oak, a mountain wall.
I see Him in the moon’s light ball,
In a canyon’s hall, a leaf’s bright fall.
I see Him over all. Do You?
I smell God in the month of May,
In new mown hay, on a rainy day.
I smell Him in a salty bay,
In October’s [...]

If my attitude be one of fear not faith about one who has disappointed me; if I say “Just what I expected,” if a fall occurs, then I know nothing of Calvary love.

The space between Eternity is spread,
And measured into units that are known.
In inches, feet, and yards the length is shown;
And pounds and tons are used to weigh up lead.
Minutes of time the baker knows for bread;
Degrees show how increased the heat is grown.
Full buckets hold the product of what is sown,
So all are gauged, from [...]

O beautiful, beautiful lesser light;
Made by God the rule the night,
I see thee on thy continuous flight,
Showing the clouds, as a furrow plowed.
Now vapor has hid the wondrous glow,
The obliqueness of the cloud to show,
But slowly conquer o’er the foe,
And light comes down, from thy crown.
So ride thou on through the night sky;
May men, [...]

Now is our pleasure, in parts divided;
Three ways delighted,
Triplet in nature.
Present, past, future, in thoughts united,
Separately sighted,
In realm of measure.
But in the Land of Bliss, where time is no more,
Pleasure is endless, no after, before.
An eternal kiss, on that wondrous shore. -eab, 12/1966

Black tree, tall, beyond,
Leaves small, bright, blond,
Days short, hazy light,
Nights long, moon bright,
Past the summer brief,
Now autumn, quiet relief. -eab, 11/66
