Allow

Allow brief time
To live fond space,
Allow sweet chimes
To grace your face.


Be still my heart
For love now speaks,
Be still ere start
To sight and seek.


Be of sound mind
To understand,
Be bold and kind
To work your scan.


Be of good cheer
To know the way,
Be without fear
To live this day.


Be kind and good
To all you meet,
Be calm of mood
To gall and sweet.


Allow fond quest
To guide you now,
Allow sure zest
To fund endow. 


Be still and know
That God knows all,
Be still and show
That life now calls.
