Blest—the mighty debt we owe.

Holy pilgrim what for thee,

In a world like this remain?

From thy guarded breast shall flee

Fear, and shame, and doubt and pain.

Fear—the hope of heaven shall flee;

Shame—from glory’s view retire;

Doubt—in full belief shall die;

Pain—in endless joy expire.

Crabbe.
