And am I wrong to worship where
Faith cannot doubt, nor hope despair,
Since my own soul can grant my prayer?
Speak, God of visions, plead for me,
And tell why I have chosen thee!
        (Plead for me, 36-40)

1. The Night is Darkening round Me
2. No coward soul is mine
3. Plead for me
4. Remembrance
5. Shall earth no more inspire thee
