The Call - George Herbert (1593 - 1633)

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a Way, as gives us breath:
Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Life, as killeth death.

Come, my Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:
Such a Strength, as makes his guest.

Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move:
Such a Love, as none can part:
Such a Heart, as joyes in love.

Really enjoying teaching the Children's Schola new works with lyrics firmly rooted in our Catholic tradition. This one makes me so happy. I get to speak about poetry and imagery and faith. This will be our Advent stretch piece.
