XLI. FLOWERS IN THE SACRISTY.
Sweet flowers! that here
In bright disorder lie,
Soon to be ranged
Upon the Altar of the Lord most High;
In bright disorder lie,
Soon to be ranged
Upon the Altar of the Lord most High;
Gather'd for this
By the fond hand of love:
How blest your lot
Above your other sisters of the grove!
By the fond hand of love:
How blest your lot
Above your other sisters of the grove!
How blest to give
To Heav'n your beauty's prime,
While yet unmarr'd
By sudden blight or slow-consuming time!
To Heav'n your beauty's prime,
While yet unmarr'd
By sudden blight or slow-consuming time!
Dear emblems ye
Of such as early die,
From life's fair mead
Cull'd in their fresh baptismal purity!
Of such as early die,
From life's fair mead
Cull'd in their fresh baptismal purity!
They from this earth
By Angels quickly borne
To God's own shrine,
His ever-blooming altar to adorn;
By Angels quickly borne
To God's own shrine,
His ever-blooming altar to adorn;
There in His sight
Their graces fair display,
And yield new tints
In the pure light of beatific day;
Their graces fair display,
And yield new tints
In the pure light of beatific day;
There set before
The golden branches seven,
Live evermore,
And breathe a fragrance through the courts of Heaven.
The golden branches seven,
Live evermore,
And breathe a fragrance through the courts of Heaven.
