Explore "Equity" by George MacDonald on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
No bird can sing in tune but that the Lord / Sits throned in equity above the heaven, / And holds the righteous balance always even; / No heart can true response to love afford / Wherein from one to eight not every chord / Is yet attuned by the spirits seven: / For tuneful no bird sings but that the Lord / Is throned in equity above high heaven.
Oh heart, by wrong unfilial scathed and scored, / And from thy humble throne with mazedness driven, / Take courage: when thy wrongs thou hast forgiven, / Thy rights in love thy God will see restored: / No bird could sing in tune but that the Lord / Sits throned in equity above the heaven.
