Jensen: Altar (Preceeded by a short speech) - Kathleen Ferrier, Phyllis Spurr

Here is a sacred altar for all those who wish to pray

Many have come before it and knelt in their quiet way

We too come forward, our heart is full

We turn where the others turn

We can only wish for people who pray: Oh God, exist for them!

They must not believe in you vainly

Grant that their hopes prove right

Grant they will meet with the loved ones they lost

In death, the deepest night

Grant it exists, the peace that

They hope in the end to attain

May it embrace them every one

Who prayed for it time and again

Yes, there must be an open door

For all those who want to turn home!

The heart is full of prayer to-night for every human’s faith!
