Hail Father Teilhard de Chardin Hail ! Hail !
Beacon and champion of all prophesy!
Your glorious vision must and will prevail
That upwards rises corporeity.

Your so prophetic vision,- vast in scope-
Holds bigger sway than prophesies of doom,
"To him belongs the world that offers hope"*
And can stare down dread prophesies of gloom.

All things that rise up likewise must converge,
And all creation groans in throes of birth.
But let the spirit like a river surge
To nourish inert matter in its dearth.

The Christ will speak to every galaxy,
And as the Cosmic Logos penetrate,-
Reveal all ultimate sacrality,-
When nature too will bow and contemplate.

Our proud agnostic scientists, - they too,-
Admit they understand - for the first time,-
Faith’s tenets, as interpreted by you,-
Your vision so exalted and sublime!.

The Alpha and Omega point you said
With humankind transformed by birth's right
To realize its destiny and fate
With Christ as the eternal spring of light

Traditions mystical in harmony
Would unify to reach their final goal,
Enlightenment and and its felicity
Would be the lot of the afflicted soul..

The Cosmic Christ who nurtures every seed,
With all that is, bathed in His radiance,
With East and West at last to hug and meet,
Transcending all barriers by confluence..

Oh Father, you say human history
Is but as negligible episode
Compared to planetary life or galaxy
Evolving fast, and hankering for God.

But our time is so materialist,
Engrossed in pursuits vain or vacuous;
Dear visionary Father scientist
Teach scientists to heed the numinous!.

That all creation cannot help but strive
To uplift human masses in a tide
To unified exalted spirit life,
That by this confluence beatified
Draws into Christ OMEGA’s blessed light
