That is my request, LORD, if I may request anything of You.
I've been listening to the Morten Lauridsen arrangement of this text as sung by the University of Utah Singers (iTunes U is your friend. Go download it for free).
It has been a balm to my soul; "all is healed, all is health."
Sure on this shining night
Of star made shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far
alone
Of shadows on the stars.

Notes
The poem comes from a book by James Agee entitled Permit Me Voyage published 1934 by Yale University Press.
