Facies Dei

Most radiant host, angelic glory be Within thy blesséd grace, Portal of Faith. In simple form You came, yet still through thee We see theophony, through which God saith, ¨Dear child mine, most valiant flesh now is thine. Hereby thy peace I grant, through darkest night With burden light and blood of freshest vine. My veil, most pale, shines forth the brightest light.¨ And blood, the mark of Christ, by malice drawn In God's almighty chalice rests untouched. Though hard we pray, His pain is never gone. ´Till end of times, we shall recall as much. Most sacred Lamb of God, through pain most sweet Has sacrificed Himself for us to eat.
