Thomas Traherne (1637?–1674)44. The Rapture
S
O fire of heaven! O sacred Light
How fair and bright,
How great am I,
Whom all the world doth magnify!
O great and sacred blessedness
Which I possess!
So great a joy
Who did into my arms convey?
Being sent, the Heavens me enflame:
To praise his Name
The stars do move!
The burning sun doth shew His love.
Am I! To all this sacred wealth,
This life and health,
Who raised? Who mine
Did make the same? What hand divine?
