2555.
[He doth not seek the light]
Suddenly there shined round about him, &c.
—ix 3.
He doth not seek the light,
Or labour or inquire,
It shines into his deepest night
Preventing his desire;
Not waiting for his call
It stops his mad career:
And thus the grace which ransoms all
Doth once to all appear.
Or labour or inquire,
It shines into his deepest night
Preventing his desire;
Not waiting for his call
It stops his mad career:
And thus the grace which ransoms all
Doth once to all appear.
It visits us unsought
That first celestial ray,
Preventing every serious thought
And every wish to pray;
We no advances make
To meet the God unknown,
Till mercy doth our souls attack
And seizes for its own.
That first celestial ray,
Preventing every serious thought
And every wish to pray;

To meet the God unknown,
Till mercy doth our souls attack
And seizes for its own.
