“_This do in remembrance of me_.” S. LUKE xxii., 19.
“Nid oes gwrthddrych ar y ddaear”
EARTHLY treasure, heaped together
Into one enormous whole,
Were it all my own, could never
Satisfy my lonely soul.
Only Jesus Christ can fill me
With the vivifying light
Of His countenance and thrill me
With ineffable delight.
Feasting at His holy table
On the tokens of His love,
Though unworthy, I am able
To be One with Him above.
With the loss of one offending
Member I should be content
When I think of an unending
Period of punishment.
What a daily delectation
To my feeble fainting soul
Is The Fountain of Salvation
Which alone can make me whole!
Thus in calm anticipation
Of the coming of The Lord,
While I live my meditation
Is His Everlasting Word.
Soon my soul shall cease to wander
After earth’s frivolities.
And be overwhelmed with wonder
At Divine realities.
Perish doubt and hesitation!
Things unseen do not deceive,—
In Thy Plenary Salvation,
Blessed Jesus, I believe.
