O Tree of Calvary,
send thy roots deep down
into my heart.
Gather together the soil of my heart,
the sands of fickleness,
the stones of my stubbornness,
the mud of my desires;
bind them all together,
O Tree of Calvary;
interlace them with Thy strong roots;
entwine them with the network
of thy Love.
