nourished by the
energies of thy love, whose conduct has been moulded by the inspiring
example of thy life, and whose imaginations are fired by the imperishable
evidences of thy lively faith, thy unshakable constancy, thy invincible
heroism, thy great renunciation.

Whatever betide us, however distressing the vicissitudes which the nascent
Faith of God may yet experience, we pledge ourselves, before the
mercy-seat of thy glorious Father, to hand on, unimpaired and undivided,
to generations yet unborn, the glory of that tradition of which thou hast
been its most brilliant exemplar.

In the innermost recesses of our hearts, O thou exalted Leaf of the Abha
Paradise, we have reared for thee a shining mansion that the hand of time
can never undermine, a shrine which shall frame eternally the matchless
beauty of thy countenance, an altar whereon the fire of thy consuming love
shall burn for ever.
