Quarried with hammer and iron
Shaped with tool and chisel
Preparation for a sacred temple
My soul magnifies the Lord
My spirit rejoices in God my Savior
Look on the humble estate of this Your servant
Batter my heart, O three-Personed God*
Till I am a stone perfectly fitted for Your temple
1 Kings 6.7; Luke 1.46.49; *John Donne
