The Christian Scholar | ||
A heathen child, yet without fear
Because he felt his Gods were near,
Instinctive felt and own'd their care;
That child amid the fields of air
May look surprise at our unrest,
Who are by angel-guardians blest.
Because he felt his Gods were near,
Instinctive felt and own'd their care;
That child amid the fields of air
299
Who are by angel-guardians blest.
In bulrush ark when Moses lay
Monsters of Nile around him play;
For there is One that cannot sleep
Who rocks his cradle on the deep;
And to th' Egyptian maid his cry
Is full of highest destiny.
Monsters of Nile around him play;
For there is One that cannot sleep
Who rocks his cradle on the deep;
And to th' Egyptian maid his cry
Is full of highest destiny.
And with Elijah in the wild,
Like Angels tending on a child,
Sustaining ravens o'er him borne
Descending wheel each eve and morn;
Wing'd pursuivants, they hear God's voice
And wait on children of His choice.
Like Angels tending on a child,
Sustaining ravens o'er him borne
Descending wheel each eve and morn;
Wing'd pursuivants, they hear God's voice
And wait on children of His choice.
Then shall one born a child of Heaven
Be bow'd to earth, to sorrow given?
Be bow'd to earth, to sorrow given?
