Voca Me Domine

 Voca Me, Domine

Heaven’s call, heard not by all,
Yet universal, shines within my soul,
A globe of light making whole
Flawed vessels’ dark total

The hounds of Heaven bay apace
Insistent, soft, not fierce,
Rein’d by that Hand once-pierced
By Hatred’s florid face

O gracious call!  Who can resist?
Such loving Will that draws
My once-confused, tangled maws
Deeply to Thy Christ

Once answered, peace ensues,
Yet, “strife within the sod”,
Perfection opts not within this mod,
High treasure, always woo’d 

The Feast, the Lamb hath beckon’d
To nuptials now directed,
Upon that Perfect Day elected,
By Him, through Him, long reckon’d

-S.E.S.
Trinitytide, 2006
