Excerpt from The Baptistery, or the Way of Eternal LifeHow art Thou seen in Heaven, 0 living Well, The Fount of our new-birth, - the blessed seal Of our inheritance P 0 who can tell How countless Angels may around Thee kneel, While earth-born clouds their glorious forms conceal, And hide the golden vision from our view? Our God and Father Faith doth here reveal, Whose radiance lights up the Baptismal dew, While we emerge in life where all things are made new.Countless as broods that fill the teeming sea, On generations generations pour As through the mouth of Ocean, ¿owing free Into the world through that Baptismal door: Numbers innumerable, evermore, Part on each side in endless destinies, Some on advancing to light's blissful shore, Some on the road where sorrow never dies, Each as they choose their lot, the way before them lies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
