BLESSED BE THE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

Before His Father He could
Acknowledge One in glory
And in intimacy as
The only true God.
 
So that His Father was
Constrained by love to accord
What accords to His nobility
The title "Lord and Christ".
 
Having completed the work
To the satisfaction of Him
Who loved Him He could
Address, "Righteous Father".
 
He was the expression of all
God would convey, consonant
With the divine thought that every
Word of God is pure.
Why is He the Beloved?
Because God saw in every act
And thought He was true,
Noble, just and pure.
