EARTH IN HEAVEN RESTS

We wake and see new wine from mountains drip
Red-colored by His Blood on Calv’ry shed,
And we from chalice of His Blood can sip
To drink His life is risen from the dead.

Around us all the earth is made anew
As truth and goodness seep in every crack,
And lesions made by sin fill with His dew
From spring-time morning—gives us Eden back—

Yet not the same but better than before:
Now on the saving side of Mary’s “yes”
With heaven’s blessings poured on us galore,
And earth once more in heaven now can rest.

For o’er her mountains clouds have rolled away,
And love of Trinity in her holds sway.
