  St George’s       Church

  Presbyterian      of

                    England.

  I with uncovered heart              In every nobler mood

  Salute the Sacred Dead              We feel the orient of their spirit glow

  Who went and who return not-        Part of our life’s unalterable good

  Say not so                          Of all our saintlier aspiration   

 

  I see them muster in a gleaming row They come transfigured back

  With ever-youthful brows            Secure from change in their high

  that nobler show;                   hearted ways

  We find in our dull road their      Beautiful evermore, and with the rays

  shining track                       Of morn in their white Shields of

                                      Expectation!
