DOMUS AUREA by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: BEHOLD THE LIVING 'HOUSE OF PRAYER'
Last Line: AND MOTHERED GOD'S ETERNAL WORD.

Behold the living "House of Prayer"
Above the waves uplifted; where
The Bird of heaven, no more to roam,
Henceforth forever hath His home
Within the maiden heart that heard
And mothered God's Eternal Word.
