General (Vol. 3)
The Bridge of Love
- Undying love beyond all human meaning,
Beyond all space, beyond all sense of time,
Yet woven into Our true sense of being,
The union of the earthly and sublime:
What art of man pursues but cannot find,
And yet his search fulfils his sacred role,
Forging a bond between God given mind
And faith to clothe the everlasting soul. - Imperfect love in humble adoration
Is yet a replica of Jesu's name,
His is the perfect Holy incarnation,
Ours is more lowly but His just the same:
In faith we journey in our mirrored state,
Reflecting Godhead indirectly shown,
Our hope the means by which we correlate
What is revealed and what is still unknown. - Union of love, the bridge of our salvation
Bringing Our Saviour into every heart,
Freely bestowed to every time and nation,
Even to sinners who once stood apart:
A gleaming span exciting thanks and praise,
Our certain means to reach the farther shore,
The inspiration of our earthly days,
Anticipating life for evermore.
