All Are Born Again

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given;
so God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven. . . .
where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in.

~Phillips Brooks

Dear Christ enters in --
love is born again . . .
the gift of heaven.

We receive it still --
silently . . . our souls
and hearts are filled.

Dear Christ enters in --
and is born again . . .
we are born again.

All are born again --
silently God's gift
of love finds its end.
