alone God sufficeth

Sound II
Anthony Gormley

Undercroft, Winchester Cathedral

Let nothing disturb thee,

Nothing affright thee

All things are passing;

God never changeth;

Patient endurance

Attaineth to all things;

Who God possesseth

In nothing is wanting;

Alone God sufficeth.

from the breviary of St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

translated by H. W. Longfellow
