15 lines✦
Nay, fix thy heart, thine eyes,Thy hope upon My boundless sacrifice:Will I lose lightly one so dear-bought prize?” Ah, Lord; it is not Thou,Thou that wilt fail; yet woe is me, for howShall I endure who half am failing now? “Nay, weld thy resolute willTo Mine: glance not aside for good or ill:I love thee; trust Me still and love Me still.” Yet Thou Thyself hast said,When Thou shalt sift the living from the deadSome must depart shamed and uncomforted. “Judge not before that day:Trust Me with all thy heart, even tho’ I slay:Trust Me in love, trust on, love on, and pray.”
