Excerpt from Worth Church: Sussex Thy Courts. Since Saxon king owned Christ his Lord and Head, A thousand years (to God but as a day) Within these courts have sped. But where are they, Those worshippers, and whither have they fled? Where those bold master-builders vanished, That once, like us, within these precincts trod, To offer prayer and praises to their God? Where now the army of the saintly dead? Still in Thy Courts those happy spirits dwell Of that fair city here invisible. In worlds far off or near, below, above, Alike the mansions of the Father's love - There will our lost be found, and called to go, A Guide be sent us too, the way to show.
