Let us love each other,
'Tis a rule of gold;
When we love another.
Love doth us enfold.


ALL SAINTS
For all of our belovèd
We gather here to-day,
Those saints on earth we cherished,
Those saints we love alway;
The veil is thin, belovèd,
That from our sight doth hide,
You, who unfurled the banner
Of Christ the Crucified.

For all of our belovèd
We can, rejoicing, sing;
The pæean of their triumph
Shall through these arches ring;
On finite ear, belovèd,
Faint falls the victor's song,
Yet, 'tis to one great army
That all of us belong.

For you, our well belovèd,
The rest His chosen know,
For us, the toil and conflict
As forward still we go;
Oh, thin the veil, belovèd,
'Twill soon be rent in twain,
When partings shall be over.
And "peace be won from pain."
