Vanishing image of great service done,

Smiling to God under the open sky:

Even in thy translation, stone by stone,

Keeping thy spirit-grace and symmetry,

Through ruined clerestory and broken rood

Our chastened souls with tears ascend to God.

A. M. Buckton: from Songs of Joy

"Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
