Religion
Third Sunday after Trinity
From The Poetical Works (1859)
Religion
Hark, through the courts of heaven
Voices of angels sound:
'He that was dead now lives again;
He that was lost is found.'
God of unfailing grace,
Send down Thy Spirit now;
Raise the rejected soul to hope,
And make the lofty bow.
In countries far from home,
On earthly husks we feed;
Back to our Father's house, O Lord,
Our wandering footsteps lead.
Then at each soul's return,
The heavenly harp shall sound:
'He that was dead now lives again;
He that was lost is found.
