Upon your face, I see

A #light shown forth from Thee.

Not just my flesh and blood,

But touched by #Holy good.

God's #image, deep within,

Before the world, or sin.

My task, a Father's #care,

To see His #likeness there.

Beside the #icon's grace,

To guide your steps, your pace.

To seek the narrow #way,

And kneel with you, and pray.

May years not dim the spark,

That shines within the dark.

Keep pure that #soul He made,

His wondrous #love displayed.
