Lightning Declares That You Are Near
Series: Miscellaneous Poetry
Father of lights,
Darkness is as light to you,
And light is but your shadow.
We long to see you as you are,
With unveiled face behold your glory,
Your glory, before whom seraphim veil themselves.
The crashing of lightning declares that you are near,
Deep darkness testifies of your presence,
Behold you pass by us and we see you not.
Teach us to fear,
With wondrous joyful fear,
And cling to you our Father.
