Waiting and watching, in my inner heart’s room–
\nVigils and silence, let troubled thoughts cease.
\nFor soon he shall come, as the heavenly groom.
\nAnd I must decrease, that he may increase.<\/p>\n
At this great mystery, my heart fails within me;
\nWhat all-surpassing, wondrous love is this:
\nGreater than the mountains, deeper than the sea,
\nWhen by God’s own word, heaven the earth does kiss.<\/p>\n
Mightiest of angels, bearing a great sword
\nTo clear the darkness, darkness of our sin,
\nYour grace and mercy, upon the world you poured;
\nFrom a fallen race, lovers you did win.<\/p>\n
Still with the Father, in your Divinity,
\nHere on this earth, with human feet you trod.
\nWe praise and worship Incarnate Majesty,
\nWholly man like us, and yet wholly God!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
