My soul, there is a country, far beyond the stars, Where stands a wingèd sentry, All skillful in the wars.There, above noise and danger, Sweet peace sits crowned with smiles, And One born in a manger Commands the beauteous files. He is thy gracious Friend, And (O my soul, awake!) Did in pure love descend, To die here for thy sake. If thou canst get but thither, There grows the flower of peace, The Rose that cannot wither, Thy Fortress, and thy Ease.
Leave, then, thy foolish ranges; For none can thee secure But One, who never changes, Thy God, thy Life, thy Cure.
H. Vaughan, Silex Scintillans, or Sacred Poems, 1650
Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam.
We give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory.
