Still Turning

"At the still point, there the dance is."

At the turning point of time
The Spirit-light of the world
Entered the stream of Earth existence.
Darkness of night
Had ceased its reign;
Day-radiant light
Shone forth in human souls;
Light
That gives warmth
To simple shepherds' hearts;
Light
that enlightens
The wise heads of kings.

Godly light!
Christ Sun!
Warm our hearts!
Enlighten our heads!
That good may come
From what we cradle in our hearts,
What we direct from our heads
With true-to-the mark, consecrated willing!
