LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

As his right arm supports me,

I hold his left arm with both hands.

Gently he lowers me

Back, down, beneath the surface.

In the water, undeceived,

From the angels’ bonds relieved,

I by mercy now reprieved

From the cell where first Eve fell.

All of Heaven in me dwells.

I know the Wisdom of my self

And the glory of the Love

Whose name I claim forevermore.

As I rise from the water

I know that I love him.

We sit and talk for days,

But I do not tell him yet.

When he returns to Kefer-Nahum,

My brother and I return to Bethany.
