Open the Doors of Wonder

April 1, 2012

Open the doors of wonder

And the casements of shuttered night

Let break upon the wakening soul

A vision bathed in light.

Release from the grasp of darkness

These human forms trodden down

By the pain of otherness

That God may spring full-grown

From these transient houses built of clay.

That we may kneel and see

With opened inner sight

On earth the living form of thee.
