APPROACH TO THE TABERNACLE (XVII)

 

Kessock Bridge and nearby

All was imbrued by excellence of oil,

While beaten olive oil provided light,

Which unattended wicks could never spoil.

Although Christ's absence seems to us a night

The Holy Spirit's present words assure

That there's a sanctum which is always bright,

While priestly grace of the Lord ensure

That we are trimmed from anything impure.
