Its holy flame for ever burneth, From heaven it came, to heaven returneth ; Too oft on earth a troubled guest, At times deceived, at times opprest, It here is tried and purified, Then hath in heaven its perfect rest : It soweth here with toil and care, But the harvest-time of Love is there.
Página 128 - Like some /Eolian strain, Breathing at eventide serene and clear ; His voice is choked in dust, and on his eyes The unbroken seal of peace and silence lies.

Página 109 - School. 1 WE have met in peace together In this house of God again ; Constant friends have led us hither, Here to chant the solemn strain ; Here to breathe our adoration, Here the Saviour's praise to sing ; May the Spirit of salvation Come with healing in his wing. 2 We have met, and time is flying ; We shall part, and still his wing, Sweeping o'er the dead and dying, Will the changeful seasons bring : Let us, while our hearts are lightest, In our fresh and early years...

Página 54 - THERE is a voice I shall hear no more : There are tones whose music for me is o'er; Sweet as the odours of spring were they — Precious and rich — but they died away : They came like peace to my heart and ear — Never again will they murmur here : They have gone, like the blush of a summer morn — Like a crimson cloud, through the sunset borne.
