WILLIAM BLAKE BELIEVED IN GOD

 

Most of the quotes in this site were extracted from the author's award-winning book, 

  GOD SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF THE GREATEST MINDS (Click on title for more information)


 It is God in all that is our companion and friend, for our God Himself says: You are my brother, my sister and my mother. (Keynes, 1961, 733)

 God is in the lowest effects as well as in the highest causes; for he is become a worm that He may nourish the weak. For let it be remembered that creation is God descending according to the weakness of man, for our Lord is the word of God and every thing on earth is the word of God and its essence is God. (Ibid, 733)

 If God is anything He is understanding. (Ibid, 733)

 Come, o Thou Lamb of God, and take away the remembrance of Sin.

To sin and to hide the sin in sweet deceit is lovely!

To sin in the open face of day is cruel and pitiless! But

To record the sin for a reproach, to let the sun go down

To as a remembrance of the sin, is a woe and horror,

A brooder of an evil day and a sun rising in blood!

Come then, O Lamb of God, and take away the remembrance of

Sin.

(Ibid, 497)

 

Man must have and will have some religion: if he has not the religion of Jesus, he will have the religion of Satan. (Ibid,   498)                                                                                                                

 

 The Lamb

     Little lamb, who made thee?

     Dost thou know who made thee?

Gave thee life, and bid thee feed

By the stream and o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing wholly and bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice?

Little lamb who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee?

Little lamb, I'll tell thee,

Little lamb, I'll tell thee;

He is called by thy name,

For He calls himself a lamb.

He is meek, and He is mild;

He became a little child.

I a child, and thou a lamb.

We are called by His name.

     Little lamb, God bless thee!

     Little lamb, God bless thee!

(Blake, 1997)
