INVOCATIONS 25
Though clogs and thieves would reive us from the fold.
Be Thou the valiant Shepherd of glory near us.
Whatever matter or cause or propensity,
That would bring to us grief, or pains, or wounds,
Or that would bear witness against us at the last,
On the other side of the great river of dark shadows,
Oh ! do Thou obscure it from our eyes,
And from our hearts drive it for ever.
Now to the Father who created each creature.
Now to the Son who paid ransom for His people,
Now to the Holy Spirit, Comforter of might : — ■
Shield and sain us from every wound ;
Be about the beginning and end of our race.
Be giving us to sing in glory.
In peace, in rest, in reconciliation,
Where no tear shall be shed, where death comes no more.
Where no tear shall be shed, where death comes no more.
