Let me awhile to wait and wonder

Let me awhile to wait and wonder
To plunder my way in the air of day
To walk the road less travelled
And find a joy in kind most real

To wade in thy world of peace
Release my worries
And welcome it in
Away my doubts

And fear before me
I shall no more of thee
This day for here I come
To ponder and pray

Here I come in earnest
Longing to be near you
Ever more and more
For dark the days

Of late I know
The shadow oft
Before me
Lingers

Yet your presence
Enough finds me
Still and calms
My cares away

Where might we go
In this eve of day
Where may you
Lead me

Guide me
I pray where
You will this day
And beyond

For fragile my form
And feeble my mind
Tis no one in kind
That knows me

As you
Who formed
And fashioned
Me thus

And glorious
Most glorious
Thy works
Oh Lord

None less glorious
Thy hands cannot form
Tis all so good and very
Good as well it should be

Thy glory
Surrounds my
Anxious heart
And wakes it

To thy glorious
Art and ravish
In the inward parts
To welcome it full

My soul
To feed
In this thy
Hour

In this
My need
My heart
Is full

And found
Most whole
In thee
