Reflections for Trinity Sunday: Music and Poetry


Rev, Robert was unable to record a Morning Prayer Service

for this Trinity Sunday.

In its place, we hope you enjoy these reflections in music and poetry.

First, from Canadian singer-song-writer, Steve Bell, "The Lorica", 

based on an ancient prayer from the Irish and Scots tradition,

which invokes the Trinity.




Next, a sonnet for Trinity Sunday, from Anglican priest and poet, Macolm Guite:


Trinity Sunday

In the Beginning, not in time or space,

But in the quick before both space and time,

In Life, in Love, in co-inherent Grace,

In three in one and one in three, in rhyme,

In music, in the whole creation story,

In his own image, his imagination,

The Triune Poet makes us for his glory,

And makes us each the other's inspiration.

He calls us out of darkness, chaos, chance,

To improvise a music of our own,

To sing the chord that calls us to the dance,

Three notes resounding from a single tone,

To sing the End in whom we all begin;

Our God beyond, above us, and within.

         -- Malcom Guite, Sounding the Seasons, Canterbury Press 2012
