IV.

1. Men.

Glory be to God on high,
Where the armies of the skies
Stand in snowy galaxies,
Fair as dreams, in bright platoon,
Brighter than th'Autumnal moon,
Where many a wild avenue
Draws afar the eager view;
And worlds, in darker distance sown,
People the living zone,
Like sparks that issue forth from Glory's burning throne.

2. Angels.

Peace be upon earth below,
Where in visions half divine
Sunsets part, and parting twine
Bridal robes of earth and sky,
Passing fair, tho' born to die;
Where unearthly hues adorn
The advance of rising morn;
And dimly thro' the gates of earth,
'Mid want, decay, and dearth,
There wander embryo shapes which speak a heavenly birth.
219

3. Men and Angels.

Good will to man from God above:
A little while I hid my face;
But Mercy shall to thee abound,
Firm as the mountains in their place,
With everlasting arms around:
Yea, the strong mountains' firm array,
And hills shall pass away,
But in that hour My Love shall stand with thee,
Rising from mists of time, a mansion strong and free.
