THE PERFECT LIFE by CHARLES FRANCIS RICHARDSON

First Line: WHERE SHALL WE FIND A PERFECT LIFE WHEREBY
Last Line: WE SHAPE OUR LIVES FOR ALL ETERNITY.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

Where shall we find a perfect life whereby
To shape our lives for all eternity?

O loveless strength! O strengthless love! the Master
Whose life shall shape our lives is not as thou;
Sweet Friend in peace, strong Saviour in disaster,
Our heart of hearts infolds Thine image now!

Be Christ's the fair and perfect life whereby
We shape our lives for all eternity.
