I See The Beauty Of Your Grace . . .
 |
| (St. Symeon - found here) |
I contemplate its radiance,
and I reflect its light.
I am caught up in its unspeakable splendor.
I am drawn outside of myself as I think of myself
What I am, what I have become, O what wonder!
My eyes are open, for in my own presence,
I feel such esteem, reverence, even fear,
as though I were actually standing before You.
I am bewildered, overwhelmed by this fear.
I do not know whether to sit or stand,
what to do with these arms and legs that are Yours,
for what works, what deeds I should use them,
these wondrous divine marvels.
Grant me to speak, and also to do what I say,
0 my Maker, my Creator, my God!”
~St. Symeon the New Theologian
