64 A SONG OF MERCY AND GRACE | |||
| Refrain: | God is the light and the grace,* which is all blessèd love. | ||
| 1 |
Jesus is our true mother,* the protector of the love which knows no end. | ||
| 2 |
We have our being from Jesus,* where the foundation of motherhood begins. | ||
| 3 |
God revealed that in all things,* as truly as God is our father so truly God is our mother. | ||
| 4 |
God is the power and goodness of fatherhood;* God is the wisdom and loving kindness of motherhood. | ||
| 5 |
God is the Trinity and God is the Unity;* God is all our life: nature, mercy and grace. | ||
| 6 |
God is the one who makes us to love,* and the endless fulfilling of all true desires; | ||
| 7 |
For where the soul is highest and noblest,* then it is humble and lowly. | ||
| 8 |
God desired Christ to be our mother, our brother and our Saviour,* for God knows us now and loved us before time began. | ||
| 9 |
In nature, Jesus is our true mother by our first creation,* and in grace by taking our created nature. | ||
| 10 |
All the love of offering and sacrifice of belovèd motherhood,* are in Christ our Belovèd. | ||
| 11 |
For in Jesus we have this godly will,* both in nature and in grace. | ||
| |||
|
God is the light and the grace,* which is all blessèd love. | |||
