THE CHALICE


Those who would follow their Shepherd of love

must learn to drink of the cup from above.

Whether bitter or sweet, to sip of His wine

is to drink with a King from

a chalice divine.

The purest

of potion

from

choicest

of vine

is poured for me daily

from hands pierced for mine.
