Imust be old to know who is older.
But I was young to know Who is ageless,
Whose sunrise marks a turning point in the universe,
Who kindles cold candles,
Striding in no striving stresses above all critical Critiques.
It will be too late to be late: for,
Older than eternity,
His past is our future!
Too real to be believed!
Too mysterious to be doubted!
And too good to be accepted!
The most controversial entity among the dead living,
Out of the ruin of ages, without hope, without
Life, rose a rhythm of redemption! Grace
Wrapped in skin, shone forth … in that holy night;
Eternity was born:–Almightiness
Veiled as Mary’s boy, to tread our fallen earth.
