- (continued from previous page)and make me love thee more and more
- "My God, I am on your side,
Keep me there,
My face is turned towards you,
Nearer let me turn away
My heart and hands are stretched towards you,
Sraw me daily more and more.I give Thee of my seed to sow,
Bringest Thou to me a hundred-fold?
Can I look up, with face aglow,
And answer, "Father, here is gold". - As I look up,
As I look down,
As I look up the palm tree,
I saw the Blessed Virgin coming down,
With seven Mass books in her hand,
Seven candles lit,
Seven priests singing,
Seven bells singing,
Shut the gates of hell.
Open the gates of Heaven,
and let my soul in - Collector
