Morning Verse

I look into the world
In which the sun is shining
In which the stars are sparkling
In  which the stones are lying

The plants in living grow
The beasts in feeling live
And Human Kind ensouled 
to spirit gives a home.

I look into the soul
that living dwells in me
God's spirit lives and weaves
In light of sun and soul
In living space without 
In glowing space within

To thee O spirit of God
I seeking turn myself 
that strength and grace and skill 
For learning and for work 
In me may live and grow
