Fast-rooted in the fruitful soil. — Alfred Lord Tennyson

Of purity, and holiness, and God. — Robert Pollok

Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts, Thou fount of life, thou Light of men, From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn unfilled to Thee again.

O Jesus, ever with us stay, Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light. — Bernard of Clairvaux
