152 ST. JOHN OF DAMASCUS. VII. Once in Thine image and Thy likeness moulded Was man, the lord of all, in Eden folded ; Till by the Tempter, envious of his blessing, Beguiled he ate, Thy first command transgressing. Wherefore the doom went forth : Return to dust, For dust thou art. And yet, O Lord, we trust Thy word, that rest remaineth for the just. VIII. I mourn and weep, at thoughts of death repining, When in the grave all cold I view reclining That form, now formless, once by God created In His own image, and with beauty mated. Strange, passing strange, this fate of man mysterious ! Corruption s prey, and yoked to death imperious. God wills it : we His written promise keep, That so He giveth His beloved sleep. One more specimen may suffice. It is a Prayer before the Holy Eucharist. As the entire hymn might be thought too prolix, I have given the first half, or rather more, together with the closing lines : A PRAYER. With lips unclean, O Lord, And with a heart defiled, With tongue profaned and conscience stained I come, Thy erring child. O Christ ! reject me not For ways or works of shame ; But let me dare in trustful prayer To call upon Thy name. teach Thou me Yea, rather, Both what to do and say ; For deep in sin as Magdalene] My soul has gone astray.
HYMNS. 153 But she her Saviour sought ; And, finding, meekly dared To bathe His feet with ointment sweet, The spikenard she prepared. That off ring of the heart Thou didst not then disdain ; Then, O my Lord, to me accord Her part to act again : In faith to clasp, to hold, To kiss, with banished fears, To balm those feet with unguents sweet, The spikenard of my tears. Yea, let those tears for me Become a healing stream : Tis I that crave the cleansing wave, Tis Thou that canst redeem. Not hid from Thee my faults, My failings in the fight ; The scars received, the steps retrieved, Alike are in Thy sight. Thou knowest my desire, My Maker and my God ; The tearful sob, the heart s low throb, Are heard in Thine abode. Then look on mine estate, And bid my sufferings cease ; O God of all, to Thee I call, From sin vouchsafe release. That so, in reverent awe, I may myself prepare With heart made whole and contrite soul These hallowed rites to share.
