Meditation for a Friday Afternoon
Posted by Steven Hayward
From the 1940 Anglican Hymnal, "Sing Praise to God Who Spoke Through Men":
For Socrates who phrase by phraseTalked men to truth unshrinking,
And left for Plato’s mighty grace
To mold our ways of thinking.

So, give me the rest. I'm intrigued. If the rest is good, I might have my students sing it. No, I'm not kidding.
Do you know: "Oh say, what is truth,'tis the fairest gem that the riches of worlds can produce / and priceless the value of truth will be when the proud monarch's costliest diadem is counted but dross and refuse."
I can't find the rest of it. I've misplaced my 1940 Hymnal. I had this one stanza written down in some old notes. I'll keep looking. It doesn't turn up on Google, which surprised me. I thought everything was on Google now.
