Show HOLT SOSS.JPTOOATOBY. ' As a flame in vase of crystal. Glowing bright thruus-h medium clear, Shine the Holy -Souls with longing; To be'hokl their God so near. All the loves that earth can offer Dimlv burn to Souls o pure: E'eri the surging flames around them They can patiently endure. But the torment of their prison Is the longing for HU Sacred Heart. Oh! that wings of dove wt-rt given, Swiftly fly to rest in His Heart. J Oh: among the hearts that loved them, Is there none to bring relief? Have they passed beyond our loving, 1 hough their stay on earth was brief? Tears are but an idle tribute. And the heart more truly wisa, Following on with its beloved, , Sulace tinds in sacrifice. So when costly offerings glitter As the feast days come again. Think of them, our patient loved OTieS, Left unsolaced in their pain. Bid them share in our rejoicing. Give them gifts of priceless worth! Let no sad soul be forgotten In the festal joys of earth. Fidelium animae. per misericordiam De Requiescant in pace. . K. J. R. |
