A GOSPEL TREASURY
Poems Based on Lectionary Gospels
In the beginning,
Before the beginning,
Within all beginning,
To cause all beginning,
Was God.
At work in creation,
In joy and elation
To share His relation
With God in creation,
Was Christ.
‘Twas God who first knew him.
All things were made through him.
All reverence is due him.
So bow the knee to him,
The Christ.
The Lord, uncreated,
By love animated,
To peace dedicated,
In hope unabated,
The Christ.
From heaven progressing,
All power possessing,
Before the beginning,
Within all beginning,
To cause all beginning,
Was God.
At work in creation,
In joy and elation
To share His relation
With God in creation,
Was Christ.
‘Twas God who first knew him.
All things were made through him.
All reverence is due him.
So bow the knee to him,
The Christ.
The Lord, uncreated,
By love animated,
To peace dedicated,
In hope unabated,
The Christ.
From heaven progressing,
All power possessing,
