The God, when he draws near, will the heart stand fast.
But, oh my, shame! when of

My shame!

That I approached to see the Heavenly,
And they cast me down, deep down
Below the living, into the dark cast down
The false priest that I am, to sing,
For those who have ears to hear, the warning song.
There
