A Holy Father's constant care
Keeps watch, with
an unwearying eye,
To see what fruits
His children bear—
Fruits that may suit
their calling high;
Takes ever knowledge of our state,
What dims communion with His love,
Might check our growth, or separate
Our hearts from what's
revealed above.
O wondrous love! that ne'er forgets
The objects of its tender care;
May chasten still, while sin besets,
To warn and guard them
where they are:
Yet ne'er forgets,
but feeds them still
With tokens of His tender love;
Will keep till, freed from every ill,
They find their rest with Him above.
