Children are God’s apostles, day by day
Sent. forth to preach of love, and hope, and peace.
—Fames Russell Lowell.

In noble array, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour’s throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain:
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.
—Reginald Heber.
