The South Transept: The Epistle and Gospel I

by Isaac Williams 1802–1865

From The Cathedral (1838; ed. W. Benham, 1889)

Religion

No more in mazes of the Psalmist's song,
Is Christ disclos'd, as in a dim retreat ;
Nor sitting the prophetic shades among ; —
But lighten'd by the living Paraclete
The Church her children gathers 'neath His feet,
And shews anew upon each holier morn
Tracks of His footsteps, or some lesson meet,
Words from th' Eternal roll, to cheer or warn,
And in a bracelet weaves her Sunday to adorn.
