[Ignorance in which ye dwell]
If ye were blind, ye should have no sin, &c.
—ix. 41.
Ignorance in which ye dwell
Excusable had been
Were it quite invincible,
It is not wilful sin.
But your knowledge ye assert,
And cast your helps and means aside,
Hence the veil is on your heart,
And all your faith is pride.
Excusable had been
Were it quite invincible,
It is not wilful sin.
454
And cast your helps and means aside,
Hence the veil is on your heart,
And all your faith is pride.
Would you own with humble grief
Your want of light and love,
Christ would help your unbelief,
And all your guilt remove:
But with arrogant disdain
Your blindness if ye still deny,
Infidels ye must remain
Till in your sins ye die.
Your want of light and love,
Christ would help your unbelief,
And all your guilt remove:
But with arrogant disdain
Your blindness if ye still deny,
Infidels ye must remain
Till in your sins ye die.
