VI. In the Ante-Communion.

But when, the white-rob'd Altar nigh,
The chain was let down from on high,
Which from His Cross unto His throne
Doth bind His children all in one,
As heavy-laden souls draw near
To hear dread Sinai's voice of fear,
102

Responsively to our deep wound,
That Prayer assumes another sound.
“Out of a world of grief and wrong,
Where we have wandered all too long,
To Thee our Father we return,
Do Thou not spurn!
Thou art in Heav'n, and we on earth,
Then weigh us not by our own worth,
May we henceforth in reverend awe
So keep Thy law,
That we may hallow Thy Great Name!
Lay on our lips Thine altar flame,
And that from Thee no more we roam,
Thy Kingdom come.
For only they, who do Thy will,
Shall thine Eternal Kingdom fill,
Then may we throughout this our night
Walk in Thy Light!
Thou art our Father, only Good,
Wilt Thou not give us that blest food?
We on Thine altar for thine aid
Ourselves have laid,
103

Unworthy—yet in deed or thought,
If our own brother hath done aught,
As we on Thy forgiveness live,
So we forgive.
Around us are the shafts of ill,
O hide us in Thy holy hill,
That we in th'evil day may stand,
Holding Thy hand!”
The cloud hath past, which hung thereon,
And Moses and Elias gone,
And Thou art standing by alone.
