Dr. Francis Vitéz, bishop: “This English version of the Csiha book in its appearance is even more artistic and in its content even richer than the original Hungarian version.“ Rt. Rev. Dr. Kálmán Csiha (the author) on telephone call from Kolozsvár, echoed the words of our bishop almost word for word with gratitude. Rt. Rev. Zoltán Király (former bishop of the Calvin Synod): 7 digested the entire book on the day it arrived. The translation of the poems is so gorgeous, that the translation tells even more than the original." Ilonka Soós (widow of the great Dr. Géza Soós of blessed memory): The English translation of the Csiha book is right in front of me. I am looking at SONG FROM THE DEEP by Kálmán Csiha Christ our Lord, Your orphaned nation Looks to You from prison’s darkness. Our hearts burn in Your creation, Lessen with mercy our pain less! Let Your Holy Spirit’s bright flame Our pain-racked heart permeate. Let fall on endless sighs and blame Your blood-dew from Your seven wounds penetrate! Our prison, like the depths of a crypt Buries us from this world in fire, Oh, descend to the depths of the crypt, Do not let Your children expire! Teach us to bear our hardship, Give us strength to go on chanting, Convert us under your hard whip When pain befalls without ending. Let Your Holy Spirit’s bright flame Our pain-wracked heart permeate. Let fall on endless sighs and blame Your blood-dew from your seven wounds penetrate! Dr. Kálmán Csiha PRISON POEMS Light Through The Bars the cover page with great exultation: the prisoner in chains, the guard, God's angelic messenger...Reading the book is tremendously satisfying. Kálmán Csiha and László Tőkés are heroes in the 20th century history of our Hungarian Reformed Church. We have to carry them continuously in our prayers!
