ANTHEM: The Prayers I Make by Jane M. Marshall
The prayers I make will then be sweet indeed, if Thou the spirit give by which I pray; my unassisted heart is barren clay, which of its native self can nothing feed; of good and pious works Thou art the seed which quickens where Thou sayest it may; unless Thou show us then Thine own true way, no man can find it! Father, Thou must lead! Do Thou, then, breathe those thoughts into my mind by which such virtue may in me be bred that in Thy holy footsteps I may tread; the fetters of my tongue do Thou unbind, that I may have the power to sing of Thee and sound Thy praises everlastingly. [Michelangelo Buonarroti, trans. William Wordsworth]
