Enter JESUS the CHRIST.
(The Sacred Figure advances towards the Man and Woman, who are unconscious of the approach. Its hands are stretched in benediction. It stands for a moment, mutely, and unseen by them.)
(The Boy runs towards it fearlessly; seats himself upon the meadow-grass at the feet of the Figure.)
(The Sacred Figure stirs towards the child. All the light in the scene now falls from the Figure.)
(The Man, the Woman, and the Child receive its full effulgence.)
Voices from Beyond (sing).
“Where loyal hearts and true
Stand ever in the light,
Enraptured through and through”—
(The Man and the Woman now perceive the Sacred Figure. They fall to their knees. The man’s arm still encircles his wife. They bow their heads before the Divine Presence.)
(The Child, with the lifted lily, remains at the feet of the Christ.)
