Hymn to the Lord of the Great Romance
Hymn to the Great Romance
By Daniel Gabriel Allegri
All hail the Triune Lover!
All hail the Fiery Just!
All hail the on-fire eyes!
All hail the chain-mail trust
All hail the Truly Great!
All hail the sooth-stained Good!*
All hail the fire-washed saint!
All hail the bloody rood!*
May the heart of evil ever fail
May they batter 'gainst it's bloodied helm
The floods of justice, soon prevailed,
The once-eldest sons, now overwhelmed.*
May we truly love! May we truly see!
Awash in that consuming swell
A bellowed cry, a mortal knell
a ransomed heart, an empty hell
May our Lover ever know
the consumation of our passion's flow
And may we beloveds ever see
His passion 'pon that glorious tree
rood: an ancient name for a piece of the true Cross
sooth: truth
eldest son: from the story of the prodigal son in Luke 14 or 15

Bravo, Daniel, Bravo and Praise the Triune Living God.
Wow… you continue to surprise me. I love it… with all my guts. You and your great romance… it’s ever so charming my friend. I think I shall ellipse… my way… out of here…
That sounds like It'd be one of those 80's millitant worship songs if you put worship to it...you know...like remember the one that we used to do at Mt. Hope: "MIGHTY WARRIOR!!! DRESSED FOR BATTLE!!! HOLY LORD OF ALL IS HE!!! "
hahah, I think it needs giant banners with the tribes of israel emblazoned on it... yes... lots of gigantic banners......
