Thou, Saviour, art his Charmed Bower,
His Magic Ring, his Rock, his Tower.
Keble.
In rendering to the Lord what is the Lord’s,
Doth not the thought of violence bring shame?
Think ye, He gave the branching forest-tree
To furnish fagots for the funeral pyre,
Or bid His sunrise light the world, to see
Pale, tortured victims perish there by fire?
