Lily of the Valley

Bless this stifling silence,

and vindicate the absence;

make righteous your poor servants,

release us from our bondage.

Rectify this tower,

and bestow on us your power;

remember when it flowered,

those Lilies of the Valley.

Bring unto us our saviour

to loosen after we labour,

and bind up all this onus;

then we shall heal from guidance.

Recall the prayers and readings,

and listen to our pleading,

that we may return to Eden,

to those Lilies of the Valley.
