Poems (Coolidge)/Ephphatha
"EPHPHATHA"
To my heart those blessèd words, Lord, I pray that thou shouldst speak, That thy kingdom evermore I may first and alway seek.
To my mind, again, dear Lord, Speak those wondrous words, I pray; Give me grace to understand, Wisdom ere to guide my way.
To my soul those loving words Rapture evermore shall bring; All my life and being thine! Enter thou, my God! my King!
At the threshold speak them, Lord, Fling the heavenly portals wide; Heart and mind, my soul, my all. Shall with thee be glorified.
