Now the silence, Now the peace, Now the empty hands uplifted; Now the kneeling, Now the plea, Now the Father's arms in welcome; Now the hearing, Now the power, Now the vessel brimmed for pouring; Now the body, Now the blood, Now the joyful celebration; Now the wedding, Now the songs, Now the heart forgiven leaping; Now the Spirit's visitation, Now the Son's epiphany, Now the Father's blessing. Now. Now. Now.
