Plea

Grant me the wideness of Your ways
Give me Your narrow law of Life
You are the object, and the praise
You are the carving, and the knife.
Further- You are yet more than those
You are the author whence all flows.

Grant me the broadness of Your heart
Give me the limits of Your grace.
Freedom and barrier impart-
Paradox placed within its place.
You who would set the captives free-
Beautiful jailer, capture me!

Firmly attached to ships must sails be
If they would guided by the gales be.
