154 FABER'S HYMNS.
A bright horizon out at sea Obscures the distant ships ;
Rough hearts look smooth and beautiful In charity's eclipse. |
||
Love's changeful mood our neighbor's faults
(Verwhelms with burning ray, And in excess of splendor hides
What is not burned away. |
||
|
||
Again, with truth like God's, it shades Harsh things with untrue light,
Like moons that make a fairyland Of fallow fields at night.
Then mercy, Lord ! more mercy still!
Make me all light within, Self-hating and compassionate,
And blind to others' sin. |
