“Knowledge shall be increased. . . . But none of the wicked shall understand.” Dan. xii. 4, 10.

Christ's shadow now on us remains,
And covers o'er the Gentile's stains,
The world His fourfold Robes divides,
And 'neath their shelt'ring skirt abides.
With one alone of all the four
The inner Raiment is in store,
When by the lot of heaven's decree
The heart is clothed with charity.
