morning on the mountphoto by Patrick Frey
“My Father, I am coming.
Nothing on the mean plain
shall keep me away
from the holy heights.
Help me to climb fast,
and keep Thou my foot,
lest it fall upon the hard rock!
At Thy bidding I come,
so Thou wilt not mock my heart.
Bring with Thee honey from heaven,
yea, milk and wine,
and oil for my soul’s good,
and stay the sun in its course,
or the time will be too short
in which to look upon Thy face,
and to hear Thy gentle voice.
Morning on the mount!
It will make me strong and glad
all the rest of the day so well begun.”
- Joseph Parker
