EMBER DAYS
J. M. Neale, 1818–66.
CHRIST is gone up; yet ere he passed
From earth, in heaven to reign,
He formed one holy Church to last
Till he should come again.
2 His twelve Apostles first he made
His ministers of grace;
And they their hands on others laid,
To fill in turn their place.
3 So age by age, and year by year,
His grace was handed on;
And still the holy Church is here,
Although her Lord is gone.
4. Let those find pardon, Lord, from thee,
Whose love to her is cold:
And bring them in, and let there be
One Shepherd and one Fold.
