After the long meaningless hysterics And lengthy broodings on the historics What once fought for its life now yields with less bitterness What once thought it was on its own, now asks for help
So, on the river bank she sits, eyes closed Shaking terribly, for love, for thorns Indeed, a hundred thousand thorns she carries Thank God, indeed, for the Comforter's Song
Whatever trembles in fear Surrender them to me The holy bath of the eternal is fire And out of my gentle fire is your light freed
Your vision as yet is faint and weak So hold my hand, and ask me for the way I can never tire of you, and I can never tire of your asking
Your feet are weary from your long pointless travels So let me carry you, and together we'll extend miracles And leap through space and time
Your heart is in pain from the thorns you keep Let me take your precious thorns So you may see light dancing all around you As I do
Whatever trembles in fear Leave not one unsurrendered You need them not And love you truly need.
**Never will I leave you; Never will I forsake you.
