Second Week of
Beautiful Advent
Sunday's Advent Healing Prayer
Hail, O Lady, John the Baptist
No heaven-high dream, remote,
unearthly, dread,
The glory I declare: turn, turn, and see
Adventurous love, that leaps from
out the world
Served by sweet growth.
In every twig and blade
I know the advent of my Saviour-God;
His moving thought is music in the wind,
The shining sword of his ascending life
Pricks the parched earth In the unmeasured sky,
In the uncounted planets of the sand
Whose paces tell the rhythm of His joy,
In the bird's sudden note, I savour him;
And closer still he comes--
Comes, with his subtle touch to stir the mind,
And catch the heart to rapture.
Amen.
~ Evelyn Underhill.
