My tongue - my throat- they are not strong enough,
And lack the fervent potency to sing,
The praises of the sovereign Lord of Love,
Of Christ, the Savior, Master, Lord and King.
Mute flames of love, poured by your grace divine,
Infused into my lax and wavering soul,
Will free the spirit from its close confine
To spread its wings to reach its final goal.
Your scepter, King of Kings, Lord Sovereign!
Be mankind’s oriflamme and beacon bright
To guide all mankind through life’s tears and pain
Into your heaven of eternal light.
by: Maria Magdalena Doppelmayr,-
translated from German original by Daughter Elizabeth Dandy
Wie soll ich Worte finden, gebannt ist doch der Geist!
Und viel zu arm die Zunge die Dich, Christ Koenig preist!
Nur stumme Liebesflammen verzehren Herz und Sein
Die Deine Gottheit gnaedig, goss in die Seele ein.
Dein Scepter, oh meine Koenig, das alle Welt regiert,
Sei unrer Menschheit Fahne die uns zum Himmel fuehrt.
Und landet einst mein Schifflein nach dieser Welt voll Pein,
Dann darf ich Oh mein Koenig in Dir geborgen sein.
Feast of Christ the King

Your Mother is a beautiful looking person and I can see her in you.
Wonderful poem I'm grateful you transleted for us all.
What insired my poem Tilted Stones--I've had writers block for sometime now--and just felt "I had to try something and sat down and wrote it in the spur of the moment" I suppose the insperation came from the Spirt of all holiness and good.
Thank you for your very thoughtful comments.
May grace and peace touch all those you love

Elizabeth, dies war ein schöner Tribut zum König der Könige. Es ist wirklich wunderbar zu sehen, dass Sie etwas so rein und heilig aufstellen.
