246:These were His servants, in His steps they trod,
259:In glorious hope their proud and sorrowing land
234:Christ, our Redeemer, passed the self same way.
216:To save mankind—yourselves you scorned to save.
219:Splendid you passed, the great surrender made;
205:Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,
214:All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave,
228:Long years ago, as earth lay dark and still,
225:Who wait the last clear trumpet call of God.
261:Commits her children to Thy gracious hand.
239:Like some bright star above the dark abyss;
207:Your memory hallowed in the land you loved.

223:Deep your contentment in that blest abode,
