DIALOGUE



DIALOGUE


A Word, a Word
Thou, Lord, didst utter which thy willing handmaid heard
and infinite, small Life within my own life breathed and stirred.[1]


A blessed space
my Lord in me and I in Him found resting place;
in such divine repose I waited, silent and full of grace.


Answer is nigh:
O God, I lift a Child up heart- and heaven-high
and say, “This is my Flesh and Blood”;
Thy Word is my reply.
