Where the old schoolmate that laughed with you,

Will laugh again as he used to do,

Running to meet you, with such a face

As lights like a moon the wondrous place

Where God is living, and glad to live,

Since He is the Master and may forgive.

Out of the hitherwhere into the yon!—

Stay the hopes we are leaning on—

You, Divine, with Your merciful eyes

Looking down from the far-away skies,—
