J.M.J.
ON BENDED KNEE
WHEN I CAN NO LONGER GENUFLECT,
WILL YOU MY HOMAGE STILL ACCEPT
WHEN I CAN ONLY BOW MY HEAD
AS I RECEIVE YOUR WINE AND BREAD?
IF IT, DEAR LORD, SHOULD COME TO THIS,
LET ME MAKE UP ALL THAT I MISS
IN PARADISE, WHERE I PRAY TO BE,
TO PRAISE YOU ONCE AGAIN ON BENDED KNEE.
“THY WILL BE DONE”
