Arthur Penrhyn Stanley (1810-1881).
Maker of the human heart, Scorn not thou thine own creation; Onward guide its nobler part, Train 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 Falls to dust our earthly mansion, Give us ample verge and room For 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, And the eternal day is breaking, Judge most just, be thou our stay In 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!
