Sunday/Blake's Lamb of God

                                  Blake's Lamb of God

The gospels in the last weeks have a repeating phrase, "The Lamb of God." Today's gospel has the peculiar Baptist, with some pleasure in his own position in the hierarchy, defer quite definitively to Christ as the Son of God.
This is from the mystic romantic poet, William Blake:


Little Lamb who made thee

Dost thou know who made thee

Gave thee life & bid thee feed.

By the stream & o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing wooly bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice!

Little Lamb who made thee

Dost thou know who made thee



Little Lamb I'll tell thee,

Little Lamb I'll tell thee!

He is called by thy name,

For he calls himself a Lamb:

He is meek & he is mild,

He became a little child:

I a child & thou a lamb,

We are called by his name.

Little Lamb God bless thee.

Little Lamb God bless thee.
