Esget, My friend Herberger has an interesting bit on this you might enjoy: "You gave up Your precious blood for us. You sprinkled blood all over Yourself (Isa. 63:3).You let Your side be opened, through Your blood gave us the eternal life that we had lost, and healed all our injuries. In 1598, my dear old professor Valentinus Florianus described this as follows: Christe tuus sanguis mortem quibus intulit anguis Dedit vitam pullis, dum noxia crimina tollis. Suscitat ut stratos Pelicanus sanguine natos: Participes lucis sic nos ex morte reducis. ('Thy blood, Lord Jesus Christ, doth all Thy children quicken Who by the serpent’s lies were stricken unto death, And as the pelican doth give its offspring stricken New life by its own blood: So giv’st Thou us new breath.')" -- Valerius Herberger: Magnalia Dei, pt. 1, medit. 10. Rev. Esget,

Who by the serpent’s lies were stricken unto death,
And as the pelican doth give its offspring stricken
New life by its own blood: So giv’st Thou us new breath.')"

We sing about pelicans a lot around here. It is I think the favorite for my six year old. We sing about pelicans a lot around here.
