Up within the city- wall

Springs the cry from Christians all; JESU, SHEPHERD of the sheep, From this Saul Thy servants keep! Lo! He hears the voices there, Grants the Proto- martyr's prayer.

Light, upon that darkened mind, Set Saul free, who came to bind: Light of more than earthly day, Light beyond the noon- tide ray. Though thine eyes are sealed in gloom, See, for thy Light too is come.

Lightened by that heavenly glare, Spirit- taught in vision rare Things unknown to mortal view, Paul now builds, what Saul o'erthrew. Chastened zeal and humbled pride Bow before the CRUCIFIED.

Manifest Thyself, O LORD, Teach us by the Apostle's word; His conversion ever be

An Epiphany of Thee, Showing, by Thy Holy Rood, Grace triumphant, sin subdued.

Oh! if, in these latter days, Darkened faith and languid praise, Counting zeal a foolish thing, Cause a costless offering; Flash across our perilous night; " In Thy Light, shall we see Light."

And if strife, engendering strife, Tear and soil our better life; JESU, LORD, Thy SPIRIT send, Zeal with Charity to blend. When loved error clouds the sight, Speak the word," Let there be Light.
