Crashaw: Come Love, come Lord

Feast of Barnabas the Apostle
Meditation:
But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
—2 Corinthians 3:16 (NIV)

Quotation:
Come Love, come Lord, and that long day
For which I languish, come away;
When this dry soul those eyes shall see,
And drink the unseal’d source of Thee;
When glory’s sun faith’s shades shall chase,
Then for Thy veil give me Thy face.
... Richard Crashaw (1613-1649), The Complete Works of Richard Crashaw, London: J. R. Smith, 1858, p. 192 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You will show us Yourself.
