Did by grace you imagine
When for Mexico you set
That a bishop would be lacking
But a bride would find you yet?
That wind and sea advancing
Would by Love's design enhancing
Make the East your best well met?
No gale has yet existed
That grace has not resisted
By the beloved's longed for sight.
Japan your new embrace
On which your young groom's face
Saw signed a great white Cross.
You did not reach to be a priest,
For no bishop was at that East,
But still you said a consecration
And after made Communion ministration
When at the nuptial altar station
you took your appointed place.
