Εχων τουτο κηδος, Ιερων
Μεριμναισιν.”

“A God keeps watch o'er thee alone,
And makes thy cares to be His own,
As kindred watch o'er kindred dear;”—
Thus Pindar spake in kingly ear.
And makes thy cares to be His own,
As kindred watch o'er kindred dear;”—
Thus Pindar spake in kingly ear.
“Carior est illis homo quam sibi.”
Juv. x. 350.
Still brighter did this golden theme
Upon Rome's later poet gleam,
That “dearer to the gods is he
Than man unto himself can be.”
Upon Rome's later poet gleam,
That “dearer to the gods is he
Than man unto himself can be.”
“Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.”
1 Pet v 7.
Thus mid the ruin sin hath wrought
In things without and inward thought,
Through this dark world of sin and pain
Some shiver'd fragments still remain—
In things without and inward thought,
Through this dark world of sin and pain
Some shiver'd fragments still remain—
Some fragments which to heathen sight
Present that vision of true light,
Which in the Christian's sky above
Shines like the Sun, that—“God is Love.”
Present that vision of true light,
Which in the Christian's sky above
Shines like the Sun, that—“God is Love.”
