“And at our Father’s loved abodeOur souls arrive in peace.”
“And at our Father’s loved abodeOur souls arrive in peace.”
“And at our Father’s loved abodeOur souls arrive in peace.”
The funeral sermon was preached in the choir by Dean Stanley, who exclaimed as he ended: “Farewell, great Proconsul of our English Christian empire! Where shall we look in the times that are coming for that disinterested love, that abounding knowledge of India, like his? Where shall we find that resolution of mind and countenance which seemed to say to us,
‘This rock shall flyFrom its firm base as soon as I’?”
‘This rock shall flyFrom its firm base as soon as I’?”
‘This rock shall flyFrom its firm base as soon as I’?”
