To be a

But when Thou dost anneal Thy story
But when Thou dost anneal Thy story
In glass, Thy life to shine within
The holy preachers, light of glory
More radiant grows and more doth win,
Which else shows waterish, bleak, and thin.

The life and doctrine blent in one
As light and color mingled, bring

Doth vanish like a flaring thing,
And in the ear, not spirit ring.
