“In yonder church that storms have iced—

I founded it upon this rock—

I’ve daily kissed the feet of Christ,

In worship with my little flock.

But I am dying—I depart,

Like Simeon old my glad feet go,

A star is shining in my heart.

Such as the Magi saw; and lo!

A star is shining in the West,

The world shall hail it from afar!
