Keble: The deaf may hear the Savior’s voice
Feast of John Keble, Priest, Poet, Tractarian, 1866
Meditation:
[Jesus:] “He who has ears, let him hear.”—Matthew 11:15 (NIV)
Quotation:
The deaf may hear the Saviour’s voice,The fettered tongue its chains may break;But the deaf heart, the dumb by choice,The laggard soul that will not wake,The guilt that scorns to be forgiven—These baffle e’en the spells of heaven.... John Keble (1792-1866), The Christian Year [1827], G. W. Doane, ed., Philadelphia: Lea & Blanchard, 1842, p. 186
