Parish News for Sunday 30th May 2010

The Blessed Trinity

Precious oneness, blessed unity;
wrapped in Love
of the Holy Trinity.

In one accord, steady gazing;
upon His beauty
a fire blazing!

His passion known in worship sweet;
hearts abound
at His feet!

Blessed unity, Love’s mystery known;
in communion of hearts
around the throne!

Soaring the heights,,of Love extended;
perfect in One
differences transcended.

A Body of One,
caught in love between Three,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
for all the world to see.

In Holy Trinity
Blessed Unity
