II

TAKE me along with thee, and let me learn thy prayer!

Take me along with thee! I must prevail.

For all that I possess is void and stale

Unless I have God’s Body in my care.

Kneeling together, make for both petition!

Only upon our knees shall we receive Him,

Only by importunity achieve Him,

And crying with one need.

Prompt in thy grace, give heed!

I am a beggar of thy wild condition:

I huddle to thy side, my hope is thine,

Thy will my will—His Body must be mine.
