“Τον δε μετ', εισενοησα βιην Ηρακληειην,
Ειδωλον: αυτος δε μετ' αθανατοισι θεοισι . . .”
Hom. Od xi. 600
Ειδωλον: αυτος δε μετ' αθανατοισι θεοισι . . .”
Hom. Od xi. 600
Thus even to good Homer then
A better hope was given,
A brighter vision broke again
Of Hercules in Heaven.
A better hope was given,
A brighter vision broke again
Of Hercules in Heaven.
But yet that hope was wan and weak,
As moon-beams in the storm;
While from Heaven's face the shadows break
Which clouds again deform.
As moon-beams in the storm;
While from Heaven's face the shadows break
Which clouds again deform.
“Having a desire to depart and to be with Christ,
which is far better.”
Phil. i. 23.
When Death our sins hath open laid,
And Light makes manifest,
Then, Rock of Ages, in Thy shade
Thy chosen ones find rest.
And Light makes manifest,
Then, Rock of Ages, in Thy shade
Thy chosen ones find rest.
Until Thy Presence for our shame
The robe of light hath wove;
And Thy redeem'd releas'd from blame
Shall mirror all Thy love.
The robe of light hath wove;
And Thy redeem'd releas'd from blame
Shall mirror all Thy love.
