This Love

DONALD BUSAROW

TEXT

This love, O Christ, is so much like your own,
The love of husband for his wife:
A new creation molded into one,
Self-giving, sharing bread and breath,
No sacrifice too great, not even death.
One love, one promise, one for all of life.

This love, O Church, is so much like your own,
This love of bride for her dear groom:
A new creation molded into one.
Admiring, trusting, faithful unto death,
Entwined together in a living wreath
To scent this life with love's divine perfume.
