Hymns for the Celebration of Life #d80
1 Heir of all the ages, I—
Heir of all that they have wrought!
All their store of emprise high,
All their wealth of precious thought!
2 Every golden deed of theirs
Sheds its luster on my way;
All their labors, all their prayers,
Sanctify this present day.
3 Heir of all that they have earned
By their passion and their tears;
Heir of all that they have learned
Through the weary, toiling years.
4 Heir of all the faith sublime
On whose wings they soared to Heav’n;
Heir of every hope that Time
To earth’s fainting sons hath giv’n.
5 Aspirations pure and high,
Strength to do and to endure;
Heir of all the ages, I—
Lo, I am no longer poor!
