SHILOH.
“He came as far as to the ANCIENT of days.”—
Literal Version.
Literal Version.
I.
The Gospel he came down to preach,No other one had power to teach;
The highest Angel failed to reach
The music that was in his speech.
II.
Out of his soul's great sea did flowRivers of truth for man to know;
Which, unto those who saw them so,
Made Heaven come down on earth below
III.
Those world-old Truths that lay concealedIn God's great heart—(to him revealed)
Like some great fountain, just unsealed,
Out of his soul in thunder pealed.
IV.
Great Messenger of Heavenly Truth(Perpetual pulchritude his youth)
Sent down from Heaven with God-like ruth
To sing the barren rough world smoothe.

V.
His God-like voice made dumb the choirOf Heaven with his great Seraph-lyre,
When from his soul divine desire
Gushed forth in notes of living fire.
VI.
His sun-like soul with glory bright,Dissolved away the world's dark night;
Then rising up with Gabriel might,
Went back to Heaven on wings of light.
