LXXV. THE SICK COMMUNICANT.

Nor fail, as round the clouds of sickness steal,
Perchance of death, again a willing guest
To seek refreshment at the heavenly feast,
Pledge of thy faith, and thy salvation's seal.
Alas! that reckless of their spirit's weal
Some should refrain till then; as if, imprest
With sigil quaint, by cunning wizard blest,
A spell were there the fainting soul to heal,
Howe'er in Christ untutor'd. Wiser thou,
As he commands, thy Christian race hast run;
As he commands, renew'd thy plighted vow;
And sought his glory, not content to shun
His means of grace. His peace be with thee now,
And hope presageful of thy Lord's “Well-done!”
