|
|
<p>We love the venerable house<br>
|
|
Our fathers built to God;<br>
|
|
In heaven are kept their grateful vows,<br>
|
|
Their dust endears the sod.</p>
|
|
<p>Here holy thoughts a light have shed<br>
|
|
From many a radiant face,<br>
|
|
And prayers of humble virtue spread<br>
|
|
The perfume of the place.</p>
|
|
<p>And anxious hearts have pondered here<br>
|
|
The mystery of life,<br>
|
|
And prayed th’eternal Light to clear<br>
|
|
Their doubts and aid their strife.</p>
|
|
<p>From humble tenements around<br>
|
|
Came up the pensive train,<br>
|
|
And in the church a blessing found,<br>
|
|
That filled their homes again.</p>
|
|
<p>For faith, and peace, and mighty love,<br>
|
|
That from the Godhead flow,<br>
|
|
Showed them the life of heaven above<br>
|
|
Springs from the life below.</p>
|
|
<p>They live with God their homes are dust;<br>
|
|
Yet here their children pray,<br>
|
|
And in this fleeting lifetime trust<br>
|
|
To find the narrow way.</p>
