“Εμοι δε αι σαι μεγαλαι ευτυχιαι ουκ αρεσκουσι, το θειον
επισταμενω ως εστι φθονερον
.”
Herod b iii. 40.
From age to age the Heathen saw
One ever fix'd unvaried law,
'Mid change and chance to man allow'd,
That God doth overthrow the proud.
One ever fix'd unvaried law,
'Mid change and chance to man allow'd,
That God doth overthrow the proud.
They saw the effect, knew not the cause,
For God from sight His hand withdraws,
Assigning love's unfathom'd plan
To envy as of sinful man.
For God from sight His hand withdraws,
Assigning love's unfathom'd plan
To envy as of sinful man.
“God resisteth the proud.”
1 Pet. v. 5.
The Cross mysterious unlocks all,—
That God, Who loves both great and small,
Yet nearer brings unto His throne
In Christ each favour'd little one.
That God, Who loves both great and small,
Yet nearer brings unto His throne
In Christ each favour'd little one.
But when in men grown high and bold
Christ's Image He doth not behold,
In Christ no more He hears their call,
He turns His countenance, and they fall.
Christ's Image He doth not behold,
In Christ no more He hears their call,
He turns His countenance, and they fall.
