But they rejoiced in tliat he said, * I go to my Creator; I have lived long enough ; the time of my departure is at hand, for I long to depart and be with Christ.' Thus did he live on till the evening. Then that scholar said to him, * Dearest master^ there is only one thought left to write.' He answered, * Write quickly.' Soon that scholar replied, ' Now this thought also is written.' He answered, ' Thou hast well said. It is finished. Raise my head in thy hand, for it will do me good to sit op...posite my sanctuary, where I was wont to kneel down to pray, that sitting I may call upon my Father.' So he seated himself on the ground in his cell, and sang the * Glory to Thee, O God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ;' and when he had named the Holy Ghost, he breathed his last breath." Such was the calm of a Christian's deathbed in Eng- land eleven hundred years ago. The longest of the Venerable Bede's hymns is a com- parison of the six days of creation with six ages of the world ; the sixth day, in which Adam was created, corre- sponding to the sixth age, in which " He by whom man was created Himself became man," — ^when, as Eve was formed out of the side of the sleeping Adam, the bride of Christ also was raised to life through Him who slept in death upon the Cross.
