A perfect Pietist hymn too, so fitting to my background and heritage. And actually the very same nonconformist heritage as Blake's, just in a later Finnish interpretation. A losing battle surely, one is tempted to say in this slough of despond, but pessimism is certainly as much of a sin as optimism is... One is so much fond of, and more, of liberal Protestantism, but maybe not totally sharing with all that absolute puremindedness :)
