In time we see unfold Your truth that is,
Already present in eternity,
And know we are in time already His
As we become what we are meant to be.
Come quickly, Lord, and finish that begun
In time that You may have Your perfect way|
With us who are Your children in Your Son
Whose Word in us will have Your final say.
And now we see how hallowed is all time
When in eternity it newly lives,
As prose of time is taken into rhyme
Of heaven where to earth Your life You give.
May beauty of Your truth be in us there,
As it unfolds in us while we are here.
