O Sacrum Convivium

Poem of the week

The Kingdom of God’ by Francis Thompson (1859 – 1907)
(In no strange land)
 
O world invisible, we view thee,
O world intangible, we touch thee,
O world unknowable, we know thee,
Inapprehensible, we clutch thee!
 
Does the fish soar to find the ocean,
The eagle plunge to find the air–
That we ask of the stars in motion
If they have rumour of thee there?
 
Not where the wheeling systems darken,
And our benumbed conceiving soars!–
The drift of pinions, would we hearken,
Beats at our own clay-shuttered doors.
 
The angels keep their ancient places–
Turn but a stone and start a wing!
‘Tis ye, ’tis your estrangèd faces,
That miss the many-splendored thing.
 
But (when so sad thou canst not sadder)
Cry–and upon thy so sore loss
Shall shine the traffic of Jacob’s ladder
Pitched betwixt Heaven and Charing Cross.
 
Yea, in the night, my Soul, my daughter,
Cry–clinging to Heaven by the hems;
And lo, Christ walking on the water,
Not of Genesareth, but Thames!

Current guidance for attending church:

  • We are now exempt from wearing masks in Church

  • However if you wish to wear a mask for some, or all of the service, you are welcome to do so. 

  • The area at the back is for those who feel safe, and more comfortable, if they can maintain social distance.

  • The pews are for people who do not feel the need to socially distance. 

  • The church is now open during daylight hours. It will not open on Sunday before the service to enable the Rector to give everything a quick wipe down!
