THE WHITE DOVE

xhe choir was full Of children
Singing with heart and word,
With melody almost divine,
The praises of the Lord.
. sweet their ringing voices
Went up to the Fathers ear,
And throngs of Easter angels
Drew nigh, their songs to hear.
But not to listen only;
With heavenly zeal and love,
The angels sing the melodies
OF the great choirs above;
And blending with the children,
Their Easter anthems rise,
Until the rapturous harmonies
Roll out beyond'th skies.
So heaven and earth were blended,
In those sweet jubilees,
The unheard voices throbbing
Through the eternities,
Yet with the children singing
When lol far, far above
The listening congregation
There few fair white dove.
Down on the air it fioated,
Its wings all silver bright,
Now in the Swallowed chancel,
Now on its pillared height
As some soft breeze from heaven,
1t stirred the listening air,
Like whispers after silence,
Like singing after prayer.
D Christ, thou loving Saviour,
Thine emblem was the birdi
As round and round it circled,
BY the grand choral stirred,
Each heart swelled high with worship,
With joy and sweet surprise,
And Paradise to Earth drew near,
And Earth tO Paradise
