Christ Plays in 10,000 Places
Trinity Sunday
June 12, 2022
Father Kenny Benge, Interim Rector
Church of the Redeemer, Nashville
As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells stones ring;
like each tucked string tells, each hung bell’s
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves―goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
I say more: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God’s eye what in God’s eye he is―
Christ―for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men’s faces.
- Gerard Manley Hopkins
