   And charm e'en now hath this old church for me
   Tho' rude and roofless and unheeded, still
   Its grey old walls I ever long to see
   Its memory has power my soul to thrill

   
   For what a lesson of the bygone time
   The dark yet glorious past do they afford
   A tale of Faith heroic and Sublime
   That never bowed beneath the tyrant's sword

   
   When hunted were our priests by ruthless men
   And drunk with martyrs' blood our dear old sod
   Here came an outlawed Friar from moor or fen
   To build this humble temple to his God

   
   O blest disciple of Assisi's Saint
   Long may thy name be honoured in our land
   And never may thy memories grow faint
   While Thine old temple by the flood shall stand

   
   And thou O Time relentless as thou art
   Touch not with blighting hand this dear old shrine
   That it may wake in many another heart
   Thoughts it has woke this twilight hour in mine
