Herbert(9) Words

I sense a voice on me descend,
The Holy Spirit alongside me:
O let this moment never end,
                  Pictured within me!

These thoughts and words now must I sift,
Through this glsass I now darkly see:
Please illume spiritual gifts,
                     Pictured within me!

Verbal paintings to show You care,
In messages channelled from thee:
Help me participate and share,
                      Pictures within me!  
                

after George Herbert's quatrain poem 'Grace' with a kyrielle refrain 8/8/8/4 rhyme scheme
