You come to me by twilight
\nIn a gown of gauzy white
\nYour sacraments revealed concealed
\nHigh priestess of the night<\/p>\n
You whisper vespers whisper prayers
\nWhisper vows of faith and fear
\nIn still and silent grace you stand
\nAs I in trembling awe draw near<\/p>\n
I kneel in worship grasp your hand
\nPress it to my searing lips
\nPray god to know the endless peace
\nFlowing from your fingertips<\/p>\n
You come to me in night divine
\nYour glory lit by crowning gold
\nYou consecrate by hungry glance
\nDevotion’s heat in evening’s cold<\/p>\n
You come to me I kneel I stand
\nYou lay me on the dewy ground
\nYou guide my worship guide my hands
\nLead my heart your heart to sound<\/p>\n
You speak to me with loving grace
\nYou catechize in passion’s glow
\nYou reach you teach you seethe and burn
\nAnd I am blessed by truth to know<\/p>\n
You come to me in gauzy gown
\nHigh priestess of the night
\nI lay in awe in faith in fear
\nLifted to your heaven’s light<\/i> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
