How shalt thou bear the cross that now so dread a weight appears,
Keep quietly to God, and think upon th'eternal years.]

"Some people," he then said, "have liked my 'Lead, kindly Light,' and
it is the voice of one in darkness asking for help from our Lord. But
this (the 'Eternal Years') is quite different; this is one with full
light, rejoicing in suffering with our Lord, so that mine compares
unfavourably with it. This is what those who like 'Lead, kindly Light'
have got to come to--they have to learn it." Then they played and sang
it over again. And he said at the end, "I thank you with all my heart.
God bless you. I pray that when you go to Heaven, you may hear the
angels singing with the genius that God has endowed them with. God
bless you."

To quote as we began, and once again from Cardinal Capecelatro and
Father Pope, and we have done. What His Eminence says of the first
founder of any Oratorian Congregation may more or less apply to the
great Oratorian whom we have mourned: "The sweet enticement of music
is quite in harmony with the spirit of St. Philip, and imparts to
piety an ineffable gladness and gentleness and grace. Take away from
our Saint his delight in music, and you leave his image in our hearts
mutilated, despoiled of much of its winning beauty."[69]
