Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming	A
of the great and dreadful day of the Lord and he shall	B
turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart	C
of the children to their fathers Malachi iv	D
	-
	-
Twice in her season of decay	E
The fallen Church hath felt Elijah's eye	F
Dart from the wild its piercing ray	E
Not keener burns in the chill morning sky	F
The herald star	G
Whose torch afar	G
Shadows and boding night birds fly	F
	-
Methinks we need him once again	H
That favoured seer but where shall he be found	I
By Cherith's side we seek in vain	J
In vain on Carmel's green and lonely mound	I
Angels no more	K
From Sinai soar	K
On his celestial errands bound	I
	-
But wafted to her glorious place	L
By harmless fire among the ethereal thrones	L
His spirit with a dear embrace	L
Thee the loved harbinger of Jesus owns	L
Well pleased to view	D
Her likeness true	D
And trace in thine her own deep tones	L
	-
Deathless himself he joys with thee	M
To commune how a faithful martyr dies	L
And in the blest could envy be	M
He would behold thy wounds with envious eyes	L
Star of our morn	N
Who yet unborn	N
Didst guide our hope where Christ should rise	L
	-
Now resting from your jealous care	O
For sinners such as Eden cannot know	P
Ye pour for us your mingled prayer	O
No anxious fear to damp Affection's glow	P
Love draws a cloud	Q
From you to shroud	Q
Rebellion's mystery here below	P
	-
And since we see and not afar	G
The twilight of the great and dreadful day	E
Why linger till Elijah's car	G
Stoop from the clouds Why sheep ye Rise and pray	E
Ye heralds sealed	R
In camp or field	R
Your Saviour's banner to display	E
	-
Where is the lore the Baptist taught	S
The soul unswerving and the fearless tongue	T
The much enduring wisdom sought	S
By lonely prayer the haunted rocks among	T
Who counts it gain	J
His light should wane	J
So the whole world to Jesus throng	U
	-
Thou Spirit who the Church didst lend	V
Her eagle wings to shelter in the wild	W
We pray Thee ere the Judge descend	V
With flames like these all bright and undefiled	V
Her watch fires light	V
To guide aright	V
Our weary souls by earth beguiled	V
	-
So glorious let thy Pastors shine	X
That by their speaking lives the world may learn	Y
First filial duty then divine	X
That sons to parents all to Thee may turn	Y
And ready prove	D
In fires of love	D
At sight of Thee for aye to burn	Y
