FAITH.
Dear guardian of the soul's immortal things,
Daughter of God, mantled with Love and Youth,
The ages pass but cannot break thy wings,
Thou silent witness of immortal truth.
Daughter of God, mantled with Love and Youth,
The ages pass but cannot break thy wings,
Thou silent witness of immortal truth.
Thou stand'st to-day between us and the grave
While centuries take toll of thee in vain;
Constant through ages dark, seeking to save
Mankind from sorrow, human death and pain.
While centuries take toll of thee in vain;
Constant through ages dark, seeking to save
Mankind from sorrow, human death and pain.
Sister of Hope, of sweet-voiced Charity,
Only through thee to read the scroll is given;
God's gift to man that thereby he may see
Beyond the years the golden dawn of Heaven.
Only through thee to read the scroll is given;
God's gift to man that thereby he may see
Beyond the years the golden dawn of Heaven.
