166.2 [1st Peter 1] <SS>

[1st Peter 1]

         for Peter

1 My unheralded son is unaccounted for.
2 His deeds summon death, his reckoning sorrow.

3 Which word would he choose to chop down our imperishable tree.
4 What boundless shame bring upon himself with the dust of his rebellion. 5 What hope for communion dare we trust.
6 Is it yet time for him to return with glory or lose all chance of reunion.

7 With grace, the illuminated King of Hearts, cup-bearer, quickens the dead, proffers a drink to the living, eternal morn, truth, all that my son seeks.
8 Will he enter into this fellowship, drink from life's cup, rest now in righteous sleep.
