for just as the sun entices forth green growth, so does love awaken love
~Hans Urs von Balthasar
lyrics
The friends of Jesus run together up the mountain fearing
The clouds give way to sun
The thunder speaks there’s nothing to dread my beloved
May your light O God shine on our faces like the sun shines on a blade of grass to entice our growing shine a million stars inside our heats awaken love in your children
The friends of Jesus go into the world no longer fearing
Their faces all aglow their lives transfiguring their neighbours with their labours
A mother holds her child they laugh together without fearing
God looks on us and smiles the sun shines brighter we are growing in love’s glowing
