Beautiful Grace

Grace, God’s pleasure,
is His treasure,
in bold measure
beautiful grace.

Christ bore the dross
of worldly loss
upon His cross.
He took our place.

Accused of sham 
the great I Am  
our paschal Lamb
in love’s embrace.
	
When people grope
He is our hope,
the means to cope,
His body raised.

a rhupunt written 5 Dec 2014
A rhupunt  (RHEE– PINT) is a Welch form consisting  of three, four or more lines of four syllables with a rhyming scheme.  It will be seen that the last lines of each stanza rhyme and the other lines rhyme with each other within the stanza. For example, in a three-line stanza the pattern would be  a, a, B. / c, c, B. / d, d, B.   Four-line stanzas would rhyme  a, a, a, B. / c, c, c, B. / d, d, d, B.  and so on. . .
