Brorson of the day

O Holy Ghost! immensely

O Holy Ghost! immensely
my heart yearns for its home,
that precious gem,
Jerusalem,
where all which pains intensely
you grant me to disown.
O Holy Ghost! immensely
my heart yearns for its home.

But ah, those seas restraining!
How can I find a way
past reefs unseen
and currents keen
my stronghold safely gaining?
I shall though, come what may.
But ah, those seas restraining!
How can I find a way?

This thought shall quell my fearing:
I’ll soon in heaven stand.
My faith make brave
to flout each wave,
and safe the ship be steering,
you know just what I can!
This thought shall quell my fearing:
I’ll soon in heaven stand.

As mentioned on the right, revisions may take place to the first-posted version. This is especially true of the first 24 hours. Bear with me!
