Circle of Love

What is this trampled in the dust
     By Him who carries Cross?
It is our sin, our great disgust;
     For us His life He lost.

But then we learn He did not lose;
     He gives for us His life,
And we can now His new life choose
     As light removes sin’s night.

Surrender to Him and we’ll rise
     To new life, heaven sent–
Unique in each and just right size
     Will bring us merriment.

The joy of heaven we now know
     With angels, saints above,
For Trinity has loved us so
     And gives to us Their love.

Now in the circle of those Three
     There is no place for sin,
And we to glory bend our knees;
     Creation’s born again!
