Take Care Of Him.

Topics: classic

"Thou whom I love, for whom I died,     Lovest thou Me, My bride?" -     Low on my knees I love Thee, Lord,     Believed in and adored.     "That I love thee the proof is plain:     How dost thou love again?" -     In prayer, in toil, in earthly loss,     In a long-carried cross.     "Yea, thou dost love: yet one adept     Brings more for Me to accept." -     I mould my will to match with Thine,     My wishes I resign.     "Thou givest much: then give the whole     For solace of My soul." -     More would I give, if I could get:     But, Lord, what lack I yet?     "In Me thou lovest Me: I call     Thee to love Me in all." -     Brim full my heart, dear Lord, that so     My love may overflow.     "Love Me in sinners and in saints,     In each who needs or faints." -     Lord, I will love Thee as I can     In every brother man.     "All sore, all crippled, all who ache,     Tend all for My dear sake." -     All for Thy sake, Lord: I will see     In every sufferer, Thee.     "So I at last, upon My Throne     Of glory, Judge alone,     So I at last will say to thee:     Thou diddest it to Me."
