POEMS OF EMILY BRONTË

It was a glimpse of truths divine
Unto my spirit given,
Illumined by a ray of light
That shone direct from Heaven!


I knew there was a God on high
By whom all things were made;
I saw His wisdom and His power
In all His works displayed.


But most throughout the moral world
I saw His glory shine;
I saw His wisdom infinite,
His mercy all divine.


Deep secrets of His Providence
In darkness long concealed,
Were brought to my delighted eyes
And graciously revealed.


And while I wondered and adored
His wisdom so divine,
I did not tremble at His power—
I felt that God was mine.


I knew that my Redeemer lived,
I did not fear to die;
I felt that I should rise again
To immortality.
