I was also called to mind of several hymns, as I was thinking about Patronuses and their striking similarity to faith. Among those that occurred to me were Luther's "Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands," and a number of Paul Gerhardt's hymns.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks so much for the observation and comment.Rev.
