A Window
A Window out to the Vastness
Was born in occupied Palestine
Two thousand years ago
In the body of a helpless baby
Who grew up
To tell it like it is
And how it could be
And showed that to get there
It will never be easy
But produces the greatest of all rewards
And told us and showed us this
As a suffering gift
Into glory
In which we can participate
With a little food and a little drink
As a small taste of what is to be.

There is No Rose

As is the rose that bear Jesu

For in this rose contained was
Heaven and earth in little space
Res miranda.
By that rose we may well see
That he is God in persons three

Leave we all this worldly mirth
And follow we this joyful birth
