One holy name she blesses, and shares one holy food, as to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. 3 In toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war she waits the consummation of peace for evermore, till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great Church victorious shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth has union with God, the Three in one, and mystical communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.
