Now it begins, and still my heart trembles,
caught up in things more great than it knows;
For heaven and earth
have touched in my body,
and what shall be born only time can disclose.

There's no need for worrying, for I'm safe in His care.
Time is ever hurrying to the future I bear.

Now it begins, and strange the beginning;
beginning so the end must be rare.
This moment the centre
of things beyond knowing,
and all that shall be in my body I bear.
