Prayer Of Blessed Elizabeth Of The Trinity

(a song)

1.

Trinity, whom I adore, calm and changeless mystery,

I hide within Your Life: "You in me, and I in You."

Make my soul Your dwelling place,

Your heav'n on earth, Your home of rest.

May I ne'er leave You alone,

But keep me there

In living faith.

2.

Word of God, eternal Sound, I give all to learn from You;

Through darkest poverty I will cling to Your embrace.

PRAISE OF GLORY I shall be,

Oh, Star of mine with lustrous beams:

Facinate me with Your Light,

And hold me fast

Within "MY THREE."

3.

Dove of Love, Consuming Fire, form in me His mystery.

For Him, the Word of God, I will be humanity.

Father mine, look down on me,

And see in me Your only Son.

Oh, my Life, my Joy, my All,

You are "MY THREE,

MY TRINITY."
