I know the face of God I have that faith beyond my sight I know my fellow pilgrims I have this comfort of common doubts. I doubt my church at its lychgate I bear these beliefs in its shade.

Certainty
I know the face of God I have that faith beyond my sight I know my fellow pilgrims I have this comfort of common doubts. I doubt my church at its lychgate I bear these beliefs in its shade.
Prompted by lines from Conclave, the movie, and also by my recent discovery of lychgates (also known as resurrection gates), sheltered gates standing between consecrated and un-consecrated space, where coffin bearers would wait for the vicar.
