LIGHT

First-born of God, whose whiteness hath been tried In sev'n-fold fires; hidden in which thy GodHath ever walked (in sign) close by thy side; Not one seared spot bears Earth where thou hast trod;Nor smell of smoke upon thy garments found; But all the cords which Earth to Darkness bound,Are, by thy hands, miraculous, unwound!
