LOVE TRIUMPHANT by ANNIE MATHESON

First Line: TRIUMPHANT LOVE! NOW COMES APACE
Last Line: TRIUMPHANT LOVE!
Subject(s): WORSHIP;

Triumphant Love! Now comes apace
Thy flood-tide that will leave no trace
Of Time and Death, dead, hand in hand.
Half-rooted in the desolate sand,
Heart-shapen, blooms Thy garb of grace,

Till, by thy waves, that conquer space,
The robe of that sweet flower's embrace
Be freed from Time's cold rocky strand,
Triumphant Love.

Sole King of an immortal race,
Though men Thy mortal name debase!
Thy feet upon the rock now stand,
The wings the infinite have spanned!
Unveil Thy power, reveal thy face,
Triumphant Love!
