glorious is the kingdom in which all thy saints reign with
thee, O Lord, clothed with light as with a garment, and
having on their heads a crown of precious stones!. For
there is infinite unfading joy, gladness without sorrow,
health without a pang, life without toil, light without
darkness, life without death; there the vigour of age

grow cold, nor joy wane away, for there we look
evermore upon the face of the Lord God of hosts.

beholdest our peril: save us for thy Name’s sake. Guide
us amongst the shoals and quicksands which beset all
we would be. Amen.
