'Now I see!' But not the parting Of the melting earth and sky, Not a vision dread and startling, Forcing one despairing cry. But I see the solemn saying, All have sinned, and all must die; Holy precepts disobeying, Guilty all the world must lie. Bending, silenced, to the dust, Now I see that God is just. 'Now I see!' But not the glory, Not the face of Him I love, Not the full and burning story Of the mysteries above. But I see what God hath spoken, How His well-belovèd Son Kept the laws which man hath broken, Died for sins which man hath done; Dying, rising, throned above! 'Now I see' that God is Love. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY CONSECRATION HYMN by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL I DID THIS FOR THEE!
