Ever to fulfil their mission,
Midway 'whit the earth sod sky.

To the God of Nature's price;
Those their nobler daily music
To the God of grace shall raise.

And when evening shadows soften
Chancel Craw, snit Tower, and Aisle ;
They shall blend their veep*, summon
With the day's deparUng
ChrisUan roes shall bear at distance,
In their toll or in their rest ;
Joying that Is one communion
CR one Church they too we blest.
They that on the sick bed languish
Full of weariness and woe,
Shell remember that for them, too,
Holy Church is gathering so.

Where the dust of saints is garnered
Till the Skeeter comes once more.
