the edge beyond light – Joseph Kreydt

Courage, unbind me from the shackles of fright.
Wisdom, unblind me from the darkness of night.
Justice, define me as I step to the fight.
Temperance, restrain me when I lust for delight.
Patience, unwind me ’til the hour is right.
Hope, be my tower. Faith, be my might.
Love, be my shepherd
Through the edge beyond light.
