Holy Trinity Welcomes The Rev. Dr. Malcolm Guite
Malcolm will be reciting his poem Epiphany on the Jordan in church on Sunday and preaching on the Trinity.
Epiphany on the Jordan by Malcolm Guite
Beginning her we glimpse the Three-in-one;
The river runs, the clouds are torn apart,
The Father speaks, the Spirit and the Son
Reveal to us the single loving heart
That beats behind the being of all things
And calls and keeps and kindles us to light.
The dove descends, the spirit soars and sings
‘You are beloved, you are my delight!’
In that quick light and life, as water spills
And streams around the Man like quickening rain,
The voice that made the universe reveals
The God in Man who makes it new again.
He calls us too, to step into that river
To die and rise and live and love forever.
