Families Three

The veil o’er understanding lifts,
     And we see Nazareth,
A place where family life is gift
     Of which we’ve been bereft.

For we have never understood
|     The truth of family three;
Now inner wisdom in us floods,
     And we see Trinity.

For family here is likeness of
     Our God who reigns above—
An ever-lasting treasure trove
     Containing Triune Love.

We in this Naz’reth family see
     The destiny of all
As gift of Three who make us free
     When families on them call.
