THE TRUE CHURCH.
#1
THE TRUE CHURCH.


CHURCH of the living GOD ! in vain thy foes
Make thee, in impious mirth, their laughing-stock ;
Contemn thy strength, thy radiant beauty mock :
In vain their threats, and impotent their blows

Satan's assaults Hell's agonizing throes !
For thou art built upon the Eternal Rock,
Nor fears't the thunder storm, the earthquake shock,
And nothing shall disturb thy calm repose.

All human combinations change and die ;
Whate'er their origin, name, form, design ;
But, firmer than the pillars of the sky,

Thou standest ever by a power Divine :
Thou art endowed with Immortality,
And canst not perish GOD'S OWN LIFE is THINE !



.
Der Anspruch ihn auszudrücken, schärft auch den Eindruck.
