Perfect Image

Come, lead us where still waters flow
     To cover us in death
That water’s life we then may know:
     Restored in Jesus’ birth–

A Second Adam from above
     Through woman truly free.
Surrendered to the Spirit’s Dove,
     With eyes of faith she sees–

A sight with eyes for us unveiled
    In welcome for God’s Son.
Her human womb His holy grail;
     Her blood with  His made one–

Made one but not confused in Him:
     One Person, natures two
In perfect harmony within,
     His purple and her blue–

Her blue in Him for all restores
     Our Eden’s perfect race
With spotless Image we adore:
     See Jesus’ human face.
