The Prince Of Life

Topics: classic

O, Prince of Life, Thy Life hath tuned     All life to sweeter, loftier grace!     Life's common rounds have wider bounds     Since Thou hast trod life's common ways.     O, Heart of Love! Thy Tenderness     Still runs through life's remotest vein;     And lust and greed and soulless creed     Shall never rule the world again.     O Life of Love!--The Good Intent     Of God to man made evident,--     All down the years, despite men's fears,     Thy Power is still omnipotent.     O Life! O Love! O Living Word!--     Rent Vail, revealing God to man,--     Help, Lord! Lest I should crucify,     By thought or deed, Thy Love again.
