XXXII.
“Blessed Saint! for this arise“Incense to thee, and sacrifice!
“Be thou ever near the Throne,
“To preserve the benizon
“Of thy sacred Stream of Health,
“More than honours, more than wealth!
“Bending from thy pleasant rest,
“Be thy heavenly vision blest
“With the votaries who can tell
“The sweet virtues of thy Well!
“Be thine ear rejoiced above
“With their gratitude and love!
“Blessed Saint; for this we vow—
“Bend thine ear! regard us now!—
90
“To the honor of thy name.
“Oh! may many a hymn be there,
“Many an orison sincere—
“Our's above the rest shall rise,
“When the sun salutes the skies,
“And the ruby-chambered West
“Varies with his tissued vest!”
