15th Century Advent Poem

I found this poem last year in the publication, Thin Places. Because I hold that in Christ there is no male or female (Galatians 3:28), I believe the love and light of the living Christ is beyond any pronoun. However, this is a lovely poem that reminds me of the humility of Christ. Ultimately, what really matters is how we live that humility and love.

Holy harmony. Isn't that a wonderful phrase? May you experience holy harmony this Advent season, and always. 



Thou shalt know Him when He comes
not by any din of drums
nor the vantages of airs
nor by anything He wears...
For His presence known shall be
by the holy harmony
that His coming makes in thee.
