A Temple of Our Hearts

Make temples of our longing hearts
     That You may be revealed;
Your sacramental self impart
     In us, be not concealed.

In world with creatures all consumed
     With self and foolish pride,
May we have hearts where You can bloom
     As our old selves have died. 

To Father You present Yourself
     Through us adopted now,
As sisters, brothers with your health
     We’ll all to Father bow.

In bowing we in Eden step
     By way of Cross’s door
And find the Tree of Life He’s kept
     For all with spirits poor.
