As softly as the sunrise,
Like a cat walking across wet grass,
Like the song of a bird,
The Word of God steals into our heart,
Softening it with dew,
Enlarging it with beauty,
Strengthening it with truth,
Setting it aflame with love.
Our mind is slow to follow
the subtlety of Divine Energy,
fashioning earth's dust into a man
in whom the Breath of God can dwell.
O Beauty!
O Truth!
O Divine Energy!
O Goodness!
O Hope of Man!
Be my breath now and forever!
