A CLERGYMAN OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

"So mindful of Him to whom children are dear,

We bring you to kneel at His shrine,

We teach you His words, and we pour on the ear
Of your childhood things high and divine;
That the hope and the faith of your earliest year

In the fervour of youth like a shield may be near,

Through the toils of your manhood may strengthen and cheer,
And brighten your age's decline."
