The Splendid Boast Of Jerusalem Poem by Idiongo Ebong

They were all amazed that beautiful night
In a land that many thought of as nothing
When your beauty gave light to the world
When your beauty illuminated the universe

Mouths were sealed and Hearts were raced,
Our eyes marvelled in the glory of His work

Little princess, splendid boast of Jerusalem
Calm and humble; strong and faithful
Quiet and voiceless; loud and serving
Virgin and Pure; Mother and grandmother

Your fruit gave us life that beautiful night
Your humility gave us salvation

To you we seek to embrace and emulate
The Splendid Boast of Jerusalem!
Give into our soul your love and passion
And guide our steps in the ways of your obedience

To you we hope and seek with faith
The blessing of your beautiful womb!
