WE BOW BEFORE THE TRINITY

Though once afar off enemies
And strangers to sanguinity,
As brought to God and taught to praise
We bow before the Trinity.

According to God's glorious ways
At home in Thy vicinity
To worship to the length of days
We bow before the Trinity.

With every heart and conscience clear
Before God's great divinity,
In reverence and godly fear
We bow before the Trinity.

Men, disparate, may now adhere
In heavenly consanguinity;
As in affection we appear
We bow before the Trinity.

Because of all that God has done
In love a new affinity
Of God and man has now begun;
We bow before the Trinity.

Acknowledging God ‑ Father, Son
And Spirit (in infinity
Three Persons, yet forever One) ‑
We bow before the Trinity.

It takes time to learn
The blessing in some blessings:
“Crucified with Christ”.

A pattern of gems
In the grass - then up flits one
Of God’s butterflies.

They squeal, batteries
Go flat, but I give thanks for
Tones they help me catch.

The blood which shelters
From judgement brings the blessing
Of the covenant.

For structures or flames,
Wood; fruit for food; leaves for shade;
The whole, for beauty.

In the past they had
Dull candles and lamps - I’m glad
Of clear light at night.

When all things are new
I shall freshly enjoy home,
Never to go out.
