Do Not I Love Thee, O My Lord, Op. 90

Don't tell Jesus that you want consolation in prayer. If he gives it to you, thank him. Tell him always that you want perseverance. Your mind is sluggish: Don't try to force yourself, and don't worry. Engrave in your memory those words which struck you while praying, and repeat them slowly many times throughout the day.

How often have you persevered like that? If you don't keep in touch with Christ in prayer and in the Bread, how can you make him known to others? I well understand you when you write: Plagiarising the words of another writer, I will tell you that your apostolic life is worth what your prayer is worth. If you are not a man of prayer, I don't believe in the sincerity of your intentions when you say that you work for Christ.

You have told me sometimes that you are like a clock out of order, which strikes at the wrong moment: At the wrong moment?

Possibly; but don't waste those chimes of your clock. The Spirit breathes where he will. I had to smile at the impatience of your prayer. You were telling him: To have to wait so long to see you! Then, perhaps I won't have a heart as inflamed as mine is now.

Prayer is the foundation of the spiritual edifice. Persevere, even when your efforts seem barren.

Prayer is always fruitful. A saint, without prayer? I don't believe in such sanctity. The prayer of a Christian is never a monologue. Long may she reign: Her heart inspire and move With wisdom from above; And in a nation's love Her throne maintain May just and righteous laws Uphold the public cause, And bless our Isle: Not in this land alone, But be God's mercies known From shore to shore: Lord make the nations see That men should brothers be, And form one family The wide world o'er.

However, none of these additional verses survived into the twentieth century.

Cornets and side-drum are to be added at the little scale-passage leading into the second half of the tune, and the full brass enters for the last eight bars".
