" For not like kingdoms of the world The holy Church of God ! Though earthquake-shocks be rocking it, And tempest is abroad ; Unshaken as eternal hills, Unmovable it stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A fane unbuilt by hands.


" Though years fling ivy over it, Its cross peers high in air, And reverend with majestic age, Eternal youth is there ! Oh mark her holy battlements, And her foundations strong ; And hear, within, her ceaseless voice, And her unending song !


" Oh ye, that in these latter days The citadel defend,


Perchance for you, the Saviour said I'm with you - to the end ; Stand, therefore, girt about, and hold Your burning lamps in hand, And standing, listen for your Lord, And till He cometh - stand !"
