And that in the depths of thy heart His memory be shrined in holiness:
Pray for that blessed time, when good shall triumph over evil,
And one universal temple echo the perfections of Jehovah:
Bend thou to His good will, and subserve His holy purposes,
Till in thee, and those around thee, grow a little heaven upon earth:
Humbly, as a grateful almsman, beg thy bread of God,—
Bread for thy triple estate, for thou hast a trinity of nature:
Humility smootheth the way, and gratitude softeneth the heart,
Be then thy prayer for pardon mingled with the tear of penitence;
Yea, and while, all unworthy, thou leanest on the hand that should smite,
