Glorious

Mashing up today's readings:

And I have given them the glory you gave me,
so that they may be one, as we are one,
I in them and you in me,
that they may be brought to perfection as one,
that the world may know that you sent me,
and that you loved them even as you loved me.
--John 17:20-26

The Spirit and the bride say, "Come."
Let the hearer say, "Come."
Let the one who thirsts come forward,
and the one who wants it receive the gift of life-giving water.
The one who gives this testimony says, "Yes, I am coming soon."
Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
--Revelation 22:12-20

“Let there be light”: That light will dawn.
“Let there be life”: It will not die.
What God has promised yet will come;
what God has willed none will defy.

Then there will come an endless light
that our pale days but hint at now,
a glory that will fill the night
and bind it into heaven's hour.

The day in night, the night in day:
so God in Christ and Christ in us.
Then nothing shall take us away
and, oh, we shall be glorious!

Restored, as on the seventh morn,
not yet in shame and fig leaf dressed,
not more forsaken nor forlorn,
and from our labors we shall rest.

May it come quickly, Lord, we pray!
The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!”
as you yourself taught them to say,
and as you said it first to them.

Your word in us is ours to you,
as God in you and you in us:
Come quickly, Lord; make all things new!
And answer—ever answer—“Yes!”
