GREAT or small below,
Great or small above;
Be we Thine, whom Thou dost know
And love:

First or last on earth,
First or last in Heaven;
Only weighted with Thy worth,
And shriven.

Wise or ignorant,
Strong or weak; Amen;
Sifted now, cast down, in want: -- But then?

Then, -- when sun nor moon,
Time nor death, finds place,
Seeing in the eternal noon Thy Face:

Then, -- when tears and sighing,
Changes, sorrows, cease;
Living by Thy Life undying In peace:

Then, -- when all creation
Keeps its jubilee,
Crowned amid Thy holy nation;
Crowned, discrowned, in adoration Of Thee.
