Psalms for Praying
Nan C. Merrill
Unless You, O Divine Creator,
build the house,
those who build it labor in vain.
Unless You watch over the city,
the watchers stay awake in vain.
For it is in co-operating with You
from morn to evening,
eating the bread of your Word,
that we rest in peace
throughout the night.
Reverence the sacred gift
of life that nourishes all.
Who will grow in wisdom,
abandoning themselves
into the chalice of Love?
Who will open themselves to the
imprint of Love's gifts
upon their hearts?
Unless You, O Divine Spirit,
make your home within us,
we wander through life in vain.
