VIGIL OF ALL SAINTS. 39 of all Saints.
THE vigil of All Saints ! Awake, my soul, to prayer ; Oh, heart that fails and faints At all that thou must bear. Behold, serenely fair, The vision of All Saints.
Far back the names begin, From righteous Abel slain, Till patriarch, prophet, psalmist win A place in that bright train, And join the joyful strain The New Song of All Saints.
There holy Stephen kneels, And Peter mounts the Cross, And Paul in bonds and prison feels All earthly riches dross, And c
...ounts them all as loss, For CHRIST the King of Saints !
There, John his head reclines Upon his Master's breast, And Mary's virgin beauty shines, Above all women blest ; Not Queen of Heaven, but still confessed Foremost among All Saints.
40 VIGIL OF ALL SAINTS.
There James, killed by the sword The fiery Baptist there, Matthew called from his hoard, Nathanael from prayer ; Thomas, no longer doubting, share The glories of the Saints !
And then a glorious train, Whose numbers none can tell, White-robed, and palms in every hand, In joy unspeakable The ceaseless praises swell Of Him Who made them Saints.
