John Watt Poet Kyrielle

His Love Endures Always

Let all the earth his praise proclaim
That all may know his holy name
Rejoice in him; rejoice again
His love endures always – amen.

For as a man God came to earth
In humble lays a kingly birth
Redeemer of women and men
His love endures always – amen.

Through sorrow’s storms these words abide
Declaring he is at our side
Peace comes, though we may not know when
His love endures always – amen.

My canticle of joy is this
Till on sweet shores of heaven’s bliss
For I shall see with new eyes then
His love endures always – amen!
