SEFER RAZIEL: HYMN, by ANONYMOUS First Line: He promises his name. They praise its power and beauty Last Line: In each creature / infinitely Subject(s): Mysticism - Judaism | ||||||||
He promises His Name. They praise its power and beauty. He promises through the treasures of snow. They praise in flux of fire, In lustrum clouds and flashing palaces. He who rides the sky promises, And their praise sweeps through the armies. He promises the Mystery of the Flame. They praise through voices of thunder And quick flashing lightning. Earth praises, abyss praises, Waves of the seas praise. Praise the pristine Name on the throne in each soul In each creature Infinitely. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
