The Visitation

Two mothers share an easy yoke
     When they together meet,
And babe of one by movement spoke
     As they each other greet.

Together their hearts now rejoice
     In Father and His Son,
For both now Mary lifts her voice,
     And two will sing as one.

Two mothers, Son, and Prophet see
     That they’re together knit,
And old and new will as one be
     In Providential fit.

The Prophet, John, will go before
     The Son who is the Way,
And Father knows what is in store
     When Prophet has his say.

Those mothers will together weep
     When their sons meet their fate,
But Father’s love will in them keep
     Their hope that He’ll awake.

The Son of one will rise from dead,
     The other will live too,
For both their sons are Spirit-led
     And so are mothers two.
