Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1810-1881).
Maker of the human heart,
âScorn not thou thine own creation;
Onward guide its nobler part,
âTrain it for its high vocation:
From the long infected grain
Cleanse and purge each sinful stain;
Kindle with a kindred fire
Every good and great desire!
âScorn not thou thine own creation;
Onward guide its nobler part,
âTrain it for its high vocation:
From the long infected grain
Cleanse and purge each sinful stain;
Kindle with a kindred fire
Every good and great desire!
When in ruin and in gloom
âFalls to dust our earthly mansion,
Give us ample verge and room
âFor the measureless expansion:
Clear our clouded mental sight
To endure thy piercing light;
Open wide our narrow thought
To embrace thee as we ought!
âFalls to dust our earthly mansion,
Give us ample verge and room
âFor the measureless expansion:
Clear our clouded mental sight
To endure thy piercing light;
Open wide our narrow thought
To embrace thee as we ought!
When the shadows melt away,
âAnd the eternal day is breaking,
Judge most just, be thou our stay
âIn that strangeand solemn waking!
Thou, to whom the heart sincere
Is thy best of temples here,
May thy faithfulness and love
Be our long last home above!
âAnd the eternal day is breaking,

Is thy best of temples here,
May thy faithfulness and love
Be our long last home above!
