Lord Byron on the Bible's Mysteries

LORD BYRON, whose writings, in the main, are in such conflict with the pure morality and spirituality of the Bible, never penned truer lines than when, speaking of the Bible, he wrote:—
“Within this awful volume lies The mystery of mysteries. Oh, happiest they of human race To whom our God has given grace To hear, to read, to fear, to pray, To lift the latch and force the way; But better had they ne’er been born Who read to doubt, or read to scorn.”
