Lenten Poetry Wednesday

Our poem today is another portion of the beautiful prayer of Gregory Petrov, written in a prison camp in 1940.

Glory to Thee, the highest peak of men's dreaming

Glory to Thee for our unquenchable thirst for communion with God

Glory to Thee, making us dissatisfied with earthly things

Glory to Thee, turning on us Thine healing rays

Glory to Thee, subduing the power of the spirits of darkness

And dooming to death every evil

Glory to Thee for the signs of Thy presence

For the joy of hearing Thy voice and living in Thy love

Glory to Thee, O God, from age to age
