FABER'S HYMNS. |
||
They would have run away from God For their own vileness' sake,
And feared lest some interior light From tell-tale eyes should break.
They know not how the outward smile The inward awe can prove ;
They fathom not the creature's fear Of Uncreated Love. |
|||
The majesty of God ne'er broke
On them like fire at night, Flooding their stricken souls, while they
Lay trembling in the light. |
|||
|
|||
They love not; for they have not kissed
The Saviour's outer hem : They fear not; for the Living God
Is yet unknown to them. |
