Hymn
Beneath our feet, and o'er our head,
Is equal warning given;
Beneath us lie the countless dead,
Above us is the heaven!
Their names are graven on the stone,
Their bones are in the clay;
And ere another day is done,
Ourselves may be as they.
Death…

Hymn
Oh, holy Father! just and true,
Are all thy works, and words, and ways,
And unto Thee alone are due

Hymn
Brethren, - the hour hath come
That severs heart from heart,
And bids from learning's sacred dome
Our pilgrim steps depart.
Some to you eastern sphere,
Where the dead idols reign,
The banner of the cross to rear
O'er Falsehood's giant fane;…
Hymn
Day breaks triumphant o'er the deep
And laughs the shades of night away!
Onward the waves resplendent sweep,
And mountain streams flash back the ray!

A thousand wild enchanting lays;

Praise to the God above.
Of joy, and life, and love,
Sweeping its strings of fire!
Oh! who the speed of bird and wind,
And sunbeam's glance will lend to me,
That soaring upward, I may find
My resting-place and home in…
Hymn at Midnight
Source of all light and joy and life!
Creator of each starry sphere,
That o'er me on the arch of night
Gleams like a diamond soft and clear;
Oh, as I gaze transported now

Hymn for St. Stephen's Day
The Son of God is gone to war.
A kingly crown to gain.
His blood-red banner streams afar!
Who follows in his train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain?
Who boldest leaves his cross below?
He follows in his train.

Hymn for the Infant School
Lately, we wander'd sadly where,
None watch'd our way, or mark'd our lot;
Yet God beheld us, and His care
Shielded the child that knew him not.
We knew not God, and yet his Name
Too often on our lips was found;
He spar'd us - yes, the very same
