QUILT PSALM

QUILT PSALM

Thou Art the Part that means the Whole –
Thou Art are the veiled Gestalt –
Thou Art are the Body for the Soul –
The Might that may Exalt.

Out of Small things proceeding Great –
Out of the Dust a Breath –
Out of the Earth a grander Fate –
The Life that hampers Death.

Thou Art the Symbol and the Sign –
Thou Art the Sacrament –
Thou Art the delicate Design
That Love can Represent.

Into Thy Covenant we Come –
Into the Promised Land –
Into the Fulness of all Time –
The Power of Thy Hand.
