Moonlit Call

In the darkening, moonlit sky

I sit, creature that I am

In quiet stillness and peace

My Lord summons me to prayer

And commune with Him.

What grace and privilege!

He’s lifting my spirits,

Quieting my heart,

Refreshing my being.

He’s seeking my company,

Humble and lowly that I am,

I’m in awe, my Lord!

My heart is leaping for joy,

Your Presence, Your Love

Encircles me, strengthens me.

My once restless heart is filled with love,

Is lifted up and enfolded in You.

All praise, honor and glory to You, my Love, my God.

This night is blessed beyond words

Small creature and friend that I am.

I bow my God, in surrender and thanksgiving.

Amen, amen, alleluia!
