Be Music, Night......
Be Music, Night'Be music, night,
That her sleep may go
Where angels have their pale tall choirs
Be a hand, sea,
That her dreams may watch
Thy guidesman touching the green flesh of the world
Be a voice, sky,
That her beauties may be counted
And the stars will tilt their quiet faces
Into the mirror of her loveliness
Be a road, earth,
That her walking may take thee
Where the towns of heaven lift their breathing spires
O be a world and a throne, God,
That her living may find its weather
And the souls of ancient bells in a child's book
Shall lead her into Thy wondrous house.

Be the healer and ye shall heal thyself
Be the love you seek and it shall fill thy heart
Be the light within the darkness and it shall enlighten all who seek it
Be the merciful and ye shall have mercy
Be the friend you seek for yourself
Just be all ye are meant to be
