Eternal God! O Thou that only art <br />The sacred fountain of eternal light, <br />And blessed loadstone of my better part, <br />O Thou my heart's desire, my soul's delight! <br />Reflect upon my soul, and touch my heart; <br />And then my heart shall prize no good above Thee, <br />And then my soul shall know Thee; knowing, love Thee; <br />And then my trembling thoughts shall never start <br />From thy commands, or swerve the least degree, <br />Or once presume to move, but as they move in Thee.<br /><br />Francis Quarles<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-loadstone/
