General (Vol. 3)
The Trinity In History
- Our Father cast in words of stone
Seemed harsh, unbending and alone
And yet He set His people free
In Covenanted liberty:
The promise of The Holy One
Was made incarnate in The Son. - Our Saviour who came down to earth,
Choosing an obscure, lowly birth,
Achieved His triumph out of loss,
The victor of the savage Cross:
Like ours, His love was freedom's flower
But His was proof against the hour. - Jesus in Heaven, the Spirit came
To comfort, counsel and proclaim,
Alive in us there to assist
The Sacrament of Eucharist:
The Trinity of Baptism
Seen through a sacrificial prism. - Thus what The Father promised man
Was fulfilled in His Only Son
And as a guarantor through time,
The Spirit makes in us His Home:
All three in one, The Trinity,
Thus manifest in history.
