I trust, believe and love you Lord, My highest greatest good! And praise you from my deepest soul With fervent gratitude; And I adore you Lamb of God Hid in the Sacrament, Shrouding and veiling flesh and blood, Your loves great testament.
You are the light, the day, the sun, And I am the glowering night, Yet darkness must give way and fade Before your radiant light. You draw and breathe me into you And then you breathe me out, So I in turn may beam and spread Your radiance round about.
I love and praise you without end, You ocean without shoal And boundaries, for you cries out My restless yearning soul; I am a raindrop in the flood Nearing the unfathomed sea; You take me up, - I am no more, By your divine decree.
Elizabeth Dandy
Below is my mother's origional text in German
Ewiges Lieben
Ich glaub an Dich, ich liebe Dich in Demut hoechstes Gut, Dich preise ich aus tiester Seel, mit heisser Liebesglut; Ich bete an Dich Gotteslamm, im heilgen Sakrament' Geheimistiefes Wunder still in meinem Herzen brennt.
Du bist das Licht, der Sonnentag, ich bin die dunkle Nacht; Es schwindet hin die Dunkelheit durch Deines Lichtes Pracht. Du ziehst mich Brot in Dich hinein und stroemst mich wieder aus, Du strahlst das Licht in mich hinein, ich trag Dein Leichten aus
Ich liebe Dich, ich lobe Dich, Du uferloses Meer Hab Dank dass ich Dich lieben darf, je laenger, desto mehr. Ich bin ein Regentropfen nur der Deiner Flut sich naht, Und bin nicht mehr, Du nahmst mich auf durch Gottes weisen Rat.
Maria Magdalena Doppelmayr

Beautiful. It's obvious you inherited talent from your mother for writing. Enjoyed it.

A wonderfully uplifting piece Elizabeth. Beautiful in every way.
Thanks for sharing this. It speaks not only of your mother's love for
the Divine, but of your love for her as well. And that is stunning!
Splendid post!
