Though Ocean 'twixt us pour its watery war, And soaring mountains frowning barriers rear; Though Time divide by an unceasing year, And Space with all its utmost limits bar, Yet in His watching ever art thou near, And I from thee can never be afar. And Love, that built this universal frame, And thy sweet heart that beats all love for me, Breathes benediction in that holiest name Of love with promise of eternity. So sealed by that dear bond we twain shall go, Unsundered by the walls of Time and Space, Together through the sounding pass of woe, Till that high Love look on us face to face. |
