3.
“Neither have entered into the heart of man the things
which God hath prepared.”
But if all power is wont to hide from sight,
Like God and His good Angels; as the wind
Impels and moulds the clouds, as viewless mind
Moves matter, and in mind the impervious might
Of reason, passion, or the spiritual light
Energise on the will, the purpose bind,
With all its secret movements intertwined;—
Much less can aught of sense discern aright,
When at God's holy Altar, with new dawn,
And healing on His wings, there doth arise
The Sun of Righteousness; and in the soul
From feeling and impassioned sense withdrawn,
Incarnate God, the Living Altar-coal,
Enters the soul, the body sanctifies.
