Patriots informed with Apostolic light | B |
Were they who when their Country had been freed | C |
Bowing with reverence to the ancient creed | C |
Fixed on the frame of England's Church their sight | B |
And strove in filial love to reunite | B |
What force had severed Thence they fetched the seed | C |
Of Christian unity and won a meed | C |
Of praise from Heaven To Thee O saintly white | C |
Patriarch of a wide spreading family | D |
Remotest lands and unborn times shall turn | E |
Whether they would restore or build to Thee | D |
As one who rightly taught how zeal should burn | E |
As one who drew from out Faith's holiest urn | E |
The purest stream of patient Energy | D |
