Be thy faith
As strong for us, when we the bridge shall pass
To the grand portal of Eternity.
[ REV. STEPHEN JEWITT, D.D., ]
Died at New Haven, August 25th, 1861, aged 78.
I well remember him, and heard his voice
In vigorous prime, beneath the Temple-Arch,
His brow enkindling with its holy themes.
And I remember to have heard it said
In what a patient studiousness of toil
