In memory of Murdoch O'Daly, a Christian poet of the 12th century who wrote poems many centuries ago that are still read today, thanks to translations of his works into modern English.
Here is an example:
CONSECRATION
(Translation by Eleanor Hull)
How great the tale, that there should be,
In God's Son's heart, a place for me!
That on a sinner's lips like mine,
The cross of Jesus Christ should shine!
Christ Jesus bend me to Thy will,
My feet to urge, my griefs to still;
That even my flesh and blood may be
A temple santified to Thee.
No rest, no calm, my soul may win,
Because my body craves to sin;
Till Thou, dear Lord, Thyself impart
Peace to my head, light to my heart.
May consecration come from far,
Soft shining like the evening star!
My toilsome path make plain to me,
Until I come to rest in Thee. |
