Easter Sacraments

EASTER SACRAMENTS
BY HENRY PARK SCHAUFFLER

There is a Soul Gethsemane
Where I must kneel,
A prayer which I must pray
Till I can feel
That, though the anguish redden on my brow,
And Calvary's begun,
From Him I'll take the sacrament of Love: —
" Thy will, not mine be done."

There is a Resurrection Life
That I must share,
A tomb that I must leave;
And though I bear
The wounds which I have won upon my cross.
Transfigured, they will shine —
A sacramental pledge of Love with Faith,
To make His rising mine.
