Rossetti: Tune me, O Lord, into one harmony

Sunday, April 27, 2014
    Feast of Christina Rossetti, Poet, 1894
Meditation:
It is good to praise the LORD
    and make music to your name, O Most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning
    and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
    and the melody of the harp.
    —Psalm 92:1-3 (NIV)
Quotation:
Tune me, O Lord, into one harmony
    With thee, one full responsive vibrant chord;
Unto thy praise all love and melody,
    Tune me, O Lord.
