CANADIAN SINGERS AND THEIR SONGS Love’s Prayer.

Beloved, this, the heart I offer thee, Is purified from old idolatry, From outworn hopes, and from the lingering stain Of passion's dregs by penitential pain. Take thou it, then, and fill it up for me With thy unstinted love, and it shall be An earthy chalice that is made divine By its red draught of sacramental wine. L.M. Montgomery 89
