	-
Archbishop of Canterbury sometime the First Bishop	C
of Truro October	D
	-
The Church's outpost on a neck of land	E
By ebb of faith the foremost left the last	F
Dull starved of hope we watched the driven sand	E
Blown through the hour glass covering our past	F
Counting no hours to our relief no hail	G
Across the hills and on the sea no sail	G
Sick of monotonous days we lost account	H
In fitful dreams remembering days of old	I
And nights th' erect Archangel on the Mount	H
With sword that drank the dawn the Vase of Gold	I
The moving Grail athwart the starry fields	J
Where all the heavenly spearmen clashed their	K
shields	J
In dereliction by the deafening shore	L
We sought no more aloft but sunk our eyes	M
Probing the sea for food the earth for ore	L
Ah yet had one good soldier of the skies	M
Burst through the wrack reporting news of them	N
How had we run and kissed his garment's hem	N
	-
Nay but he came Nay but he stood and cried	O
Panting with joy and the fierce fervent race	P
'Arm arm for Christ returns ' and all our pride	O
Our ancient pride answered that eager face	P
'Repair His battlements Your Christ is near '	-
And half in dream we raised the soldiers' cheer	Q
Far as we flung that challenge fled the ghosts	R
Back as we built the obscene foe withdrew	S
High to the song of hammers sang the hosts	R
Of Heaven and lo the daystar and a new	S
Dawn with its chalice and its wind as wine	T
And youth was hope and life once more divine	T
	-
	-
Day and hot noon and now the evening glow	U
And 'neath our scaffolding the city spread	V
Twilit with rain wash'd roofs and hark below	U
One late bell tolling 'Dead Our Captain dead '	-
Nay here with us he fronts the westering sun	W
With shaded eyes and counts the wide fields won	W
	-
Aloft with us And while another stone	X
Swings to its socket haste with trowel and hod	V
Win the old smile a moment ere alone	X
Soars the great soul to bear report to God	V
Night falls but thou dear Captain from thy star	Y
Look down behold how bravely goes the war	L

Canon Residentiary and Precentor of Truro	U
December	D
	-
Many had builded and the building done	W
Through our adorn d gates with din	Z
Came Prince and Priest with pipe and clarion	W
Leading the right God in	Z
	-
Yet had the perfect temple quickened then	A2
And whispered us between our song	B2
'Give God the praise To whom of living men	A2
Shall next our thanks belong '	-
	-
Then had the few the very few that wist	V
His Atlantean labour swerved	V
Their eyes to seek and in the triumph missed	V
The man that most deserved	V
He only of us was incorporate	V
In all that fabric stone by stone	X
Had built his life in her had made his fate	V
And her perfection one	W
	-
Given all he had and now when all was given	W
Far spent within a private shade	V
Heard the loud organ pealing praise to Heaven	W
And learned why man is made	V
	-
To break his strength yet always to be brave	C2
To preach and act the Crucified	V
Sweep by O Prince and Prelate up the nave	C2
And fill it with your pride	V
	-
Better than ye what made th' old temples great	V
Because he loved he understood	V
Indignant that his darling less in state	V
Should lack a martyr's blood	V
She hath it now O mason strip away	D2
Her scaffolding the flower disclose	E2
Lay by the tools with his o'er wearied clay	D2
But She shall bloom unto its Judgment Day	D2
His ever living Rose	E2

The Fourth Bishop of Truro	U
May	D2
	-
Prince of courtesy defeated	V
Heir of hope untimely cheated	V
Throned awhile he sat and seated	V
	-
Saw his Cornish round him gather	D
'Teach us how to live good Father '	-
How to die he taught us rather	D
Heard the startling trumpet sound him	G2
Smiled upon the feast around him	G2
Rose and wrapp'd his coat and bound him	G2
	-
When beyond the awful surges	H2
Bathed in dawn on Syrian verges	I2
God thy star thy Cross emerges	I2
And so sing we all to it	V
	-
Crux in coelo lux superna	W
Sis in carnis hac taberna	W
Mihi pedibus lucerna	W
	-
Quo vexillum dux cohortis	I2
Sistet super flumen Mortis	I2
Te flammantibus in portis	I2
