A HYMN FOR MEMORIAL DAY
For those we love within the veil, Who once were comrades of our way, We thank Thee, Lord; for they ha\e won cloudless day. And life for them is life indeed, The >plendid goal of earth s straight race; Wid where no shadows intervene They >ee Thy face. •Not as we knew them any more, Toil" >rn, and sad with burdened care — h.rect, clear-eyed, upon their brows Thy name they bear. Tree from the fret of mortal years, And knowing now’ Thy perfect will, With quickened sense and heightened i°y ll'c) serve Thee still.
O fuller, sweeter is that life, And larger, ampler is the air; Eye cannot see nor heart conceive Fhe giory there; Nor know to what high purpose Thou Dost yet employ their ripened powers, Nor how, at Thy behest, they touch This life of ours. There are r.o tears within their eyes; W ith love they keep perpetual trysi; And praise and work and rest arc one, With Thee, O Christ. —William Charter Piggott.
