THE LORD’S SUPPER 29
Wander from holiness onward to holiness; earth shall ye
heed not;
Earth is but dust and heaven is light; I have pledged you
to heaven.
God of the Universe, hear me! thou fountain of Love
everlasting,
Hark to the voice of thy servant! I send up my prayer to
thy heaven!
Let me hereafter not miss at thy throne one spirit of all
these,
Whom thou hast given me here! I have loved them all like
a father.
May they bear witness for me, that I taught them the way
of salvation,
Faithful, so far as I knew of thy word; again may they
know me,
Fall on their Teacher’s breast, and before thy face may
I place them,
Pure as they now are, but only more tried, and
exclaiming with gladness,
Father, lo! I am here, and the children, whom thou hast
given me!"
Weeping he spake in these words; and now at the beck
of the old man
Knee against knee they knitted a wreath round the altar’s
enclosure.
Kneeling he read then the prayers of the consecration,and
softly
With him the children read; at the close, with tremulous
accents,
Asked he the peace of heaven, a benediction upon them.
