Cowardly, this is me,
� �not worthy of most holy eyes.
Trapped in fear, far from free,
� �fodder for the Lord of the Flies.

Comfort of soul, my one besetting,
� �keeps me from meeting the Right Desire.
In its coolness I am forgetting
� �that good and hot most holy fire.

Grant me, please, most Noble Faire,
� �a heart for worthy change.
Seal in me a holy air;
� �do the good work and rearrange.

I so long the edge of Your sword;
� �to know the sharpness of its Truth.
At that line You'll be my Lord;
� �practical rightness as the proof.

Grant me this courage, or that death,
� �but this courage, borne of love.
Infuse me, Lord, with Your clean breath,
� �marked as borne above.

I want to want to know Your ways,
� �and see them lived in me.
Then my walk will be one of praise
� �with thanks for One so worthy.

Then when that time comes with death
� �I will be with Him who's strong.
Praise will continue with my breath,
� �for I have worshipped all along.

I will know the Satisfaction
� �when His Promise is realized.
It will be met in the Consummation
� �when I see His righteous eyes.
