Matthew 17:7. And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Ay, it was Jesus only who could give them comfort; and I have to say, -
"Till God in human flesh I see,
My thoughts no comfort find;
The holy, just, and sacred
Three Are terrors to my mind.
"But if Immanuel’s face appear,
My hope, my joy, begins;
His name forbids my slavish fear,
His grace removes my sins."
The hand of a man touched the apostles, and the voice of a man said to them, "Arise, and be not afraid."
