Beyond this world of doubt and desperation
the seed of love was cast upon this earth,
that all might know that love, before creation,
had called all human life to come to birth.
At first this love was seen through incarnation,
God leaving trails of glory, holding grace,
to come and dwell with ours and every nation,
that we might know God's loving face to face.
