"And thou shalt make an ALTAR to burn INCENSE upon:
"And thou shalt put it ... before the MERCY-SEAT that is over the
testimony, where I will meet with thee.
"And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at EVEN, he shall burn INCENSE upon
it."--Exod. xxx. 1, 6, 8.
"The star-lit sky's a temple-arch,
The calm, still, evening air
Is glorious with the spirit-march
Of messengers of prayer.
"Are gentle moon, or kindling sun,
Or stars unnumbered, given
As shrines to burn earth's incense on--
The altar-fires of heaven?
"Nay! pale away must moon and sun,
And star by star decline;
O be, Thou ever living One,
Thy 'GOLDEN ALTAR'--mine!"
