HOLY COMMUNION
IN the Beginning—and in me,
Flesh of my flesh, O Deity,
Bone of my bone;
In me alone
Create, as if on Thy sixth day,
I, of frail breath and clay,
Were yet one seed with Thee,
Engendering Trinity!
Flesh of my flesh, O Deity,
Bone of my bone;
In me alone
Create, as if on Thy sixth day,
I, of frail breath and clay,
Were yet one seed with Thee,
Engendering Trinity!
My Lord, the honour of great fear
To be Thy teeming fiat here;
In blood and will
Urged to fulfil
Thy rounded motion of behest;
One with Thy power and blest
To act by aim and right
Of Thy prevenient might!
To be Thy teeming fiat here;
In blood and will
Urged to fulfil
Thy rounded motion of behest;
One with Thy power and blest
To act by aim and right
Of Thy prevenient might!
