The Canterbury Seal.
An Illustration.
Triple blessings on the plough,
Triple blessings on the fleece!
Heaven's Angel send you now
To be fruitful and increase:
“So your country shall remain,”
And all happiness be pour'd
Upon Canterbury plain,
From the Lord!
Triple blessings on the fleece!
Heaven's Angel send you now
To be fruitful and increase:
“So your country shall remain,”
And all happiness be pour'd
Upon Canterbury plain,
From the Lord!
Triple blessings on the fleece,
Triple blessings on the plough!
For beneath the Cross of Peace
All your toil is hallow'd now:
While the Church, in sacred robe,
Is your help on either hand,
As the pillars of the globe
Ye shall stand!
Triple blessings on the plough!

All your toil is hallow'd now:
While the Church, in sacred robe,
Is your help on either hand,
As the pillars of the globe
Ye shall stand!
