Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1810-1881).
Maker of the human heart,
Scorn not thou thine own creation;
Onward guide its nobler part,
Train it for its high vocation:
From the long infected grain
Cleanse and purge each sinful stain;
Kindle with a kindred fire
Every good and great desire!
Scorn not thou thine own creation;
Onward guide its nobler part,
Train it for its high vocation:
From the long infected grain
Cleanse and purge each sinful stain;
Kindle with a kindred fire
Every good and great desire!
When in ruin and in gloom
Falls to dust our earthly mansion,
Give us ample verge and room
For the measureless expansion:
Clear our clouded mental sight
To endure thy piercing light;
Open wide our narrow thought
To embrace thee as we ought!
Falls to dust our earthly mansion,
Give us ample verge and room
For the measureless expansion:
Clear our clouded mental sight
To endure thy piercing light;
Open wide our narrow thought
To embrace thee as we ought!
When the shadows melt away,
And the eternal day is breaking,
Judge most just, be thou our stay
In that strangeand solemn waking!
Thou, to whom the heart sincere
Is thy best of temples here,
May thy faithfulness and love
Be our long last home above!
And the eternal day is breaking,
Judge most just, be thou our stay
In that strangeand solemn waking!
Thou, to whom the heart sincere
Is thy best of temples here,
May thy faithfulness and love
Be our long last home above!
