EPIPHANY by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: REASON, HAVE DONE
Last Line: IS PRELUDE TO THE PERFECT LIGHT.
Subject(s): RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
Reason, have done!
Of thee I'll none
While face to face I see the sun.

Be thine the ray
To point the way
In darkness: but, behold, 'tis day.

Should faith divine
Forbear to shine,
Again I'll place my hand in thine.

For in thy sight
To walk aright
Is prelude to the perfect light.
