Reading that Lexicon

Reading along in my lexicon I came across a word Most absurd it would seem. “Ekthesis” it is. Oh, how coarse And yet, back then, so normal So regular, however morose. “A putting out, exposing” It reads – but of what? A child indeed – “a child”! Barbaric seems not Sufficient a word to tell Of such action fit for hell. Oh what a world we came from, Pulled out by revelation. Indeed, and genuine salvation! It was a world unwanted By anyone who’s seen the light. Oh He has won, indeed, the fight. We rest in His triumph Over darkness, death, and sin. He’s sent us power and life We’re victors in the strife
