O BLESSED TRINITY
EXCEEDING ALL BEING, DEITY AND GOODNESS
TEACH US YOUR HEAVENLY WISDOM
LEAD US TO THE ROCK
YES, TO YOUR MYSTICAL HEIGHTS
WHICH EXCEEDS LIGHT
AND MORE THAN EXCEEDS KNOWLEDGE
YOU ARE THE ONLY BEGOTTEN ONE
HIDDEN IN DAZZLING OBSCURITY
AND SECRET SILENCE
ABSOLUTE AND UNCHANGEABLE
SURCHARGING OUR BLINDED INTELLECTS
WITH UTTERLY IMPALPABLE AND INVISIBLE GLORY
YES, YES  GLORY THAT EXCEEDS ALL BEAUTY
BLESSED IS YOUR DIVINE SILENCE
TEACH US TO EXERCISE FAITH THERE
IN MYSTIC CONTEMPLATION
APART FROM OUR HUMAN LOGIC
TEACHING US TO REST IN FAITH
NOT STRAINING FOR UNION WITH YOU
BUT, REALIZING
THAT WE ARE THE WORKMANSHIP
OF YOUR HANDS
AND THAT WE CANNOT CONTAIN
THAT WHICH EXCEEDS ALL EXISTENCE
SEAL OUR LIPS AND FIERY TONGUES
SET GUARD UPON OUR MOUTHS
FROM ALL THAT SPEWS FROM THE LOWEST ORDER OF OUR BEING
FROM ALL UNGODLY DELUSIONS
WHICH ARE BIRTHED OUT OF THE IGNORANCE
OF YOUR DIVINE TRUTH
TRUTH THAT IS BEYOND
ALL POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE DISTINCTIONS
THAT WHICH THE CARNAL MIND CANNOT RECEIVE 
FATHER,  NO MAN CAN COME TO YOU
UNLESS YOU DRAW THEM FIRST
YOU ALONE CALL US BY NAME
THE NAME THAT OUR SPIRIT KNOWS
AND WILL ANSWER TO
HELP OUR UNBELIEF,  GIVE US EARS TO HEAR 
LEAD US UPON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR YOUR NAMES SAKE
UP THAT HOLY ASCENT
FORSAKING, EVEN, DIVINE ENLIGHTENMENT'S
VOICES AND HEAVENLY UTTERANCES
PLUNGE US INTO THE DARKNESS OF UNKNOWING
THAT WE MIGHT, BY FAITH, CRY OUT
AND COME TO KNOW
THE IMMEASURABLE HEIGHTS, DEPTHS,
AND WIDTHS OF YOUR BEING __
YES, THROUGH THE DARKNESS
INTO THE LIGHT OF YOUR SON,  FATHER
YOUR INVISIBLE SPIRIT
MADE MANIFEST IN HIM
WHO HAS COME TO DWELL IN US
THAT INCOMPREHENSIBLE PRESENCE
WHICH PROSTRATES MY OWN HEART AND MIND
LEAVING ME IN HELPLESS ABANDON
FOR YOU ARE TRULY UNKNOWABLE
UNLESS HOLY SPIRIT REVEALS
YOUR HOLINESS,  YOUR FATHOMLESS LOVE
SO THAT I CAN MEASURE
HOW FAR THE FALL, IN EONS PAST
GIVING YOU THE PRAISE AND GLORY
DUE YOU,  FOR REDEEMING ME FROM IT
I AM LOST IN IMAGERY
AND ALLEGORIC SYMBOLISM
UNTIL YOU LET ME SOAR UPWARD
BEYOND MY INTELLECTUAL CONCEPTIONS
REDUCE ME TO ABSOLUTE DUMBNESS
OF SPEECH AND THOUGHT
EMBRACE ME LORD WITH YOUR TRUTH
WITH YOUR OWN TRANSCENDENT FAITH
FOR YOU ARE THE LIFE OF THE LIFE OF MY SOUL _____
