“We too should be about our father's business —
O Christ, hear us!”
Dinah Craik (1826–1887) English novelist and poet
Poems (1866), Our Father's Business
Context: All that we know of Thee, or knowing not
Love only, waiting till the perfect time
When we shall know even as we are known —
O Thou Child Jesus, Thou dost seem to say
By the soft silence of these heavenly eyes
(That rose out of the depths of nothingness
Upon this limner's reverent soul and hand)
We too should be about our father's business —
O Christ, hear us!
