Made sacred with the memories Of old;

That can by service true and love he bought;
It's into perfectness Of beauty wrought
More wonderful than jewelled works OF gold;
Its rich endearments never fully told.
And yet by each and all with passion sought!
There bring the heart all free from guile and snare
Give sweet devotion through the passing days
Each want and wish. each pain and pleasure snare,
And nought shall be but thankfulness and praise
BE true men and women God has blest-
With that dear Kingdom evermore the best
