The poem expresses a deep sense of humility and repentance before God, acknowledging human sinfulness and the sacrifice of Jesus. It seeks spiritual awakening, urging the soul to remain alert to divine communication and to foster a closer relationship with God, asking for guidance along life’s journey.
O’ Father, this weak sinful frame
That thou should condemn to flames,
Thou came and didst die for my shame
Humble my soul, for thou came,
To silence my heart, not to fame
Cause my soul to not sleep
When thou doth speak, O’ keep me
Cause my mind to grow deeper
in deeper union with thee
And light my path wherever I go
