The Bible - ZaunköniG - 15.04.2022 THE BIBLE. O BOOK of books! though Skepticism flout Thy sacred origin, thy worth decry ; Though Atheistic folly give the lie To what thou teachest ; though the Critic doubt This fact, that miracle, and raise a shout Of triumph o'er each incongruity, He in thy pages may perchance espy ; As in his strength th' effulgent SUN shines out, Hiding innumerous stars, so dost thou shine With heavenly light, all human works excelling Thy Oracles are holy and divine, Of free salvation, through a SAVIOUR, telling : All Truth, all Excellence, dost thou enshrine The mists of Sin and Ignorance dispelling ! . |
