Proof
the World demands, as tokens
Of
Thy Love and Presence,
Show
us Thy Face!
Give
us a sign!
We
would see Christ
Not
made by Thee, (man says) but hatch’d
From
natural stuff and such,
Primate
folk are we;
The
Missing Link laughs
And
beats his stump
O
Man, so glorious, so arrogant,
“Fools
and slow of heart!”
Ought
not Man believe
That
Christ suffered once,
Now
wrapped in Glory?
Yea,
and more than a man
This Jesus,
dual-natured One;
God,
bound for Heaven
Leads
our captivity captive,
Man,
no longer moribund
-S.E.S.
Trinitytide,
2006
