Prayer For King Gaspar's Incense
Oh Father God, fumigate us with incense
Like that from a man with faith intense
Oh Lord Jesus, beloved by King Gaspar
Who came to Thee from a land afar
Oh Holy Spirit, cover us with the riches of Asia
Like the incense of Gaspar, King of India
This we beg to our Merciful God. Amen.

*Prayer Poems to the 3 Kings' Gifts
They saw the star and roamed very far...far,
Lo! Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar;
Search... is the divinity of my life,
Who will tell this to this nation in strife...?
I saw it lit on my birth as a child,
In form and shape simple and very mild;
Breast-fed, I knew, yet needed much-much more,
Like eagles and vultures, heavens to soar...!
So far from all that I have thought and known,
Within and without each and every zone;
There, lo, has been only and only name,
Isn't it Jesus who lights each small flame...???

Por ti chorei
dançando
a dança do povo
no meio da multidão chorei lágrimas de saudades
saudades dos seus discursos
dançando
a dança do povo no ritmo do Quissange
Marsal gritando
Gaspar amigo
o povo esta contigo.
Por ti chorei
pensando no que seria de mim
na
vigésima sétima noite de Maio
irmão camarada
carrego teus versos dentro de minha alma
naufragando com o tempo
dançando
a dança do povo
por ti
sempre
chorarei
camarada irmão.
