No 81 in AOV NG is James Maher’s beautiful meditation, “Jesus, Face of God.” It’s worth finding Julie Jenkin’s version on the CD.
Jesus, face of God, holy mystery,
Truth beyond what we’ve conceived, bold reality!
Jesus, word of God, heaven’s poetry,
Wisdom born beyond our minds, divine humanity.
Jesus, heart of God, pierced on calvary,
Love beyond imagining, heaven’s majesty.
Jesus, song of God, Spirit’s melody,
Sounding deep within our hearts, transforming harmony,
Holy mystery.
