"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."
(Keynes, 733)
"If God is anything He is
understanding."
(Keynes, 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."
(Keynes, 497)
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)
