THE LORD’S SUPPER 25
Earth and heaven apart, and the dead from their
sepulchres rising
Whispered with pallid lips and low in the ears of each
other
Th’ answer, but dreamed of before, to creation’s enigma,
—Atonement!
Depths of Love are Atonement’s depths, for Love is
Atonement.
Therefore,child of mortality, love thou the merciful Father;
Wish what the Holy One wishes, and not from fear, but
affection;
Fear is the virtue of slaves; but the heart that loveth is
willing;
Perfect was before God, and perfect is Love, and Love
only.
Lovest thou God as thou oughtest, then lovest thou
likewise thy brethren;
One is the sun in heaven, and one, only one, is Love also.
Bears not each human figure the godlike stamp on his
forehead ?
Readest thou not in his face thine origin ? Is he not
sailing
Lost like thyself on an ocean unknown, and is he not
guided
By the same stars that guide thee? Why shouldst thou hate
then thy brother?
Hateth he thee, forgive! For ’t is sweet to stammer one
letter
Of the Eternal’s language;—on earth it is called
Forgiveness!
Knowest thou Him, who forgave, with the crown of thorns
round his temples?
