POEMS. 409
Then hopes of life immortal
Rose in this vale of death,
Those hopes that ope heaven’s glorious portal,
To all on earth beneath.
He still draws nigh this day
To us, that Saviour good,
And would our thirst allay
With His most precious blood ;
Would make our hearts more pure,
More chastened and upright,
And grant our union firm and sure
With God in endless light.
O Thou! once pierced for us,
Who didst our souls deliver,
Thou who hast died for us,
Of life and light the giver! °
Accept us, Christ, we pray,
While we, in holy peace,
Renew with grateful hearts this day
Thy covenant of grace.
Be Thou our hope most sure,
Our strength, life’s precious bread !
Within Thy church secure
E’en death we need not dread.
Our life, our resurrection,
Thou evermore shalt be:
To Thee all worlds are in subjection:
Glory, O Lord, to Thee!
