Hand in hand with angels, thro' the world we go;
Brighter eyes are on us when we blind ones know;
Tenderer voices cheer us then we deaf will own;
Never, walking heavenward, can we walk alone.
Hand in hand with angels; some are out of sight,
Leading us unknowing into paths of light;
Some soft hands are covered from our mortal grasp,
Soul in soul to hold us with a firmer clasp.
Hand in hand with angels, walking ev'ry day,
How the chain my brighten none of us can say;
Yet it doubtless binds us, through the ties of love,
With the loftiest spirits in the realms above.
Hand in hand with angels ever let us go;
Clinging to the strong ones, drawing up the slow,
One electric love-cord, thrilling all with fire,
Soar we through vast ages, higher ever higher.

1. But the forehead of Urizen gathering,
And his eyes pale with anguish, his lips
Blue and changing, in tears and bitter
Contrition he prepar’d his Bow,
2. Form’d of Ribs, that in his dark solitude,
When obscur’d in his forests, fell monsters
Arose. For his dire Contemplations
Rush’d down like floods from his mountains,
In torrents of mud settling thick,
With eggs of unnatural production:
Forthwith hatching, some howl’d on his hills,
Some in vales, some aloft flew in air.
3. Of these, an enormous dread Serpent,
Scalèd and poisonous, hornèd,
Approach’d Urizen, even to his knees,
As he sat on his dark-rooted Oak.
4. With his horns he push’d furious:
Great the conflict and great the jealousy
In cold poisons; but Urizen smote him!
5. First he poison’d the rocks with his blood,
Then polish’d his ribs, and his sinews
Drièd, laid them apart till winter;
Then a Bow black prepar’d: on this Bow
A poisonèd Rock plac’d in silence.
He utter’d these words to the Bow:—
6. ‘O Bow of the clouds of Secrecy!
O nerve of that lust-form’d monster!
Send this Rock swift, invisible, thro’
The black clouds on the bosom of Fuzon.’

‘Tis the gift to be simple. ‘Tis the gift to be free.
‘Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be.
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
‘Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
‘Tis the gift of the humble, of the wise and the kind,
‘Tis the gift of those who follow the Divine
To bless and to be blessed by a simple faith,
To live in the peace of amazing grace.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
‘Til by turning, turning we come ‘round right.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed.
‘Tis the gift to be joyful. ‘Tis the gift just to sing.
‘Tis a gift to make your song an offering.
And when that gift is shared with the hope of Light,
The darkness will fade with the fear of the night.
‘Tis the gift to be simple.
‘Tis the gift to be free.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
‘Til by turning, turning we come ‘round right.
‘Tis the gift to be simple. ‘Tis the gift to be free.

The Glorious Shocking Rochester, New York
White light contains twelve rays, only seven of which are revealed, just
as the musical octave contains twelve notes only seven of which are
articulated. Likewise, the passions are twelve, but seven are expressed.
