"O thou spiritual clarion!..."
| |
| 1 |
O thou spiritual clarion!
| |
| 2 |
The voice of the physical clarion may travel the distance
of three miles, but the harmony of the spiritual
Clarion reacheth to the East and the West. The effect
of that is only in the bodies; but the effect of this is in
the spirits. The first proclaimeth the time of prayer;
the second announceth the appearance of the Most
Great Resurrection. That hath no conscious knowledge
of its own voice; while this is exhilarated and rejoiced
by its own melody.

How significant and eloquent were those new verses,
for they were the notes of the clarion of the love of
God.
| |
| 4 |
Raise thou this call as much as thou canst, and sound
and blow this clarion continually night and day, so that
the souls may become quickened and the people find
eternal life.
