Richard Crashaw. 1613?1649341. Christ Crucified
THY restless feet now cannot go | |
For us and our eternal good, | |
As they were ever wont. What though | |
They swim, alas! in their own flood? | |
Thy hands to give Thou canst not lift, | 5 |
Yet will Thy hand still giving be; | |
It gives, but O, itself’s the gift! | |
It gives tho’ bound, tho’ bound ’tis free! |
