HYMNS.
When shall lone spirits
Sorrow no more?
When shall our aching eyes
Gaze on the shore?
Oh, for the twilight
To break through the gloom!
Oh, for the rest
Of our only true home!
Stay, mourner, stay thy fears,
Joy shall dry up thy tears,
Respice Stellam,
Voca Mariam.
Gentle and beautiful
Beaming above,
Shines out all brightly,
The fair star of love.
Rest of the weary,
Hope mid the night,
Guiding the lonely
In its soft light.
Yes, mid the darkest night,
That star still shineth bright;
Respice Stellam,
Voca Mariam.
TO THE SACRED HEART.
HYMN FOR IRELAND.
O Sacred Heart!
Our home lies deep in Thee,
On earth Thou art an exile’s rest,
In heaven the glory of the blest,
O Sacred Heart.
