On seeing a small display of diamonds
(laboratory-made ones!)
Tune: O Waly Waly
(\'An upper room did our Lord prepare\')
********
Diamonds shining in your brilliance
Your brightness appeals to our sense
Formed underground, hidden from our sight
Yet your light shines through darkest night
And so for us, humans made of clay
We made of dust, so do we say
The Spirit, He comes to reside in
Each heart and purifies from sin
Too God\'s grace, it multi-faceted
Sparkling from each angle, no dread
Except the fear, reverential awe
Of Him whom we worship, adore
Living light of the world, so inspire
Our hearts, our minds, with holy fire
Radiating true your presence here
As gems, no darkness does appear
