Looking up and around
I see glorious sights
taking me out of myself.
Christianity is an upward call
laying hold of a glory
beyond this world.
That glory burst forth in Christ,
true God and true Man,
when he rose from the dead.
Faith takes me out of myself
changing me from the image
into the likeness of God’s glory.
Today Mary is assumed
into heaven and the
choirs of angels rejoice.
Tomorrow her glory will be mine
with all the saints and God made
everything to everyone.
