Artist Info:
With fainting soul athirst for Grace,<br />
I wandered in a desert place,<br />
And at the crossing of the ways<br />
I saw a sixfold Seraph blaze;<br />
He touched mine eyes with fingers light<br />
As sleep that cometh in the night:<br />
And like a frightened eagle's eyes,<br />
They opened wide with prophecies.<br />
He touched mine ears, and they were drowned<br />
With tumult and a roaring sound:<br />
I heard convulsion in the sky,<br />
And flight of angel hosts on high,<br />
And beasts that move beneath the sea,<br />
And the sap creeping in the tree.<br />
And bending to my mouth he wrung<br />
From out of it my sinful tongue,<br />
And all its lies and idle rust,<br />
And 'twixt my lips a-perishing<br />
A subtle serpent's forked sting<br />
With right hand wet with blood he thrust.<br />
And with his sword my breast he cleft,<br />
My quaking heart thereout he reft,<br />
And in the yawning of my breast<br />
A coal of living fire he pressed.<br />
Then in the desert I lay dead,<br />
And God called unto me and said:<br />
"Arise, and let My voice be heard,<br />
Charged with My will go forth and span<br />
The land and sea, and let My word<br />
Lay waste with fire the heart of man."<br />
