His mercy is severe


His mercy is severe
who arms the Pleiades with light
and girds the soul through conscience
for the moral fight.

His love is far too strong,
His eye too piercing bright
for man, who only can
endure through many veils His sight.

His judgment orders messengers

to us deprived of might,
and stands our sin before us
as we hurry into night.

His purity, His truth, His beauty

empty out of white,
swords flashing, cymbals crashing,
music, multiplicity, delight.

His promise is unhedged

and hangs persuasive at our right,
whose mercy is severe
and arms the Pleiades with light.
