After Darkness, Lightby Nathan Pitchford
 Diversely Excellent 
 Revelation 5:5-6 “…Behold, the 
Lion
of the tribe of Judah, the Root of   David, has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a 
Lamb
as it had been slain…” 
True Son of God, true Son of Man,Both terrible and fair, What various attributes you span!Perfections ah! how rare,How vast are in your person blent, And all diversely excellent. You only are the sovereign King, And you the Servant mild; Artificer of everything, And made a human child; You held the world up in your hand,Even while you walked its sinful land! You judge the world in holy fire, Avenge the merest vice: And you became what you require –The bloody sacrifice!O wonder! that you hate all sin, Yet spread your arms to take it in.
