Spite of his failings, shines all bright,

With something of an angel-light.

"We close the book with thankful heart,

Father of Lights, to Thee, who art

Of every good and perfect gift

The Giver,—unto Thee we lift

Our souls in prayer, that all may see

Thy hand, Thy heart, in all they see."

Anon. in The Spectator.
