The two Sayings - ZaunköniG - 25.12.2007 The two Sayings Two sayings of the Holy Scriptures beat Like pulses in the Church's brow and breast! And by them we find rest in our unrest, And, heart-deep in salt tears, do yet entreat God's fellowship, as if on heavenly seat. The first is Jesus wept, - whereon is prest Full many a sobbing face that drops its best And sweetest waters on the record sweet. And one is, where the Christ, denied and scorned, Looked upon Peter. Oh, to render plain, By help of having loved a little and mourned, That look of sovran love and sovran pain Which He, who could not sin yet suffered, turned On him who could jeject but not sustain! |
