By E. C. L. BrowneThe Young Rabbi
T
The springs of life and faith are still our shrines,
And, standing strong in living deed, the spell
Of this day’s call thy listening heart divines.
Leans forward where the quickening Word abides;
Thy past a pledge that yet that Mystic Roll
A fuller, holier revelation hides.
Of present need, and seer of faith to be!
The august centuries converge on thee—
One living God behind, before, beside.
Stand forth with Him and sing to-day’s Mismor!
