You may be familiar, dear reader, with Jaroslav Vajda's hymn text "Now the Silence". Less well known is a second text that Vajda wrote for the same tune by Carl Schalk. His words capture well the substance of my last visit to the Blessed Sacrament Chapel this week to spend time with Our Lord:Then the glory
Then the rest
Then the Sabbath peace unbroken
Then the garden
Then the throne
Then the crystal river flowing
Then the splendor
Then the life
Then the new creation singing
Then the marriage
Then the love
Then the feast of joy unending
Then the knowing
Then the light
Then the ultimate adventure
Then the Spirit’s harvest gathered
Then the Lamb in majesty
Then the Father’s Amen
Then
Then
Then
