The Dream of Gerontius

by John Henry Newman

And of Apostles and Evangelists,

Of Martyrs and Confessors; in the name

Of holy Monks and Hermits; in the name

Of holy Virgins; and all Saints of God,

Both men and women, go! Go on thy course;

And may thy place to-day be found in peace,

And may thy dwelling be the Holy Mount

170Of Sion:—in the Name of Christ, our Lord.
