by Unknown

And they who loved Him shall be welcomed home

To God, and Christ, and Heaven, and Heaven’s array,

Angels and saints made perfect—may the scene

Of that dread day be always present here—

Here in my heart! That every day between,

Which brings my passage to the goal more near,

May find me fitter, by His love made clean,

Before His throne of justice to appear.

Bishop Mant.
