THE LORD’S SUPPER 27
Groping no longer in night; she is Faith, she is living
assurance.
Faith is enlightened Hope; she is light, is the eye of
affection,
Dreams of the longing interprets, and carves their visions
in marble.
Faith is the sun of life; and her countenance shines like
the Prophet’s,
For she has looked upon God; the heaven on its stable
foundation
Draws she with chains down to earth, and the New
Jerusalem sinketh
Splendid with portals twelve in golden vapors
descending.
There enraptured she wanders, and looks at the figures
majestic,
Fears not the winged crowd, in the midst of them all is
her homestead.
Therefore love and believe; for works will follow
spontaneous
Even as day does the sun; the Right from the Good is an
offspring,
Love in a bodily shape; and Christian works are no more
than
Animate Love and faith, as flowers are the animate
springtide.
Works do follow us all unto God; there stand and bear
witness
Not what they seemed,—but what they were only. Blessed
is he who
Hears their confession secure; they are mute upon earth
until death’s hand
