Until then



Since thou were called before me
To spheres that are eternal
To see at last the face of Him
Who is love and hope eternal.
Know this my love,
Forevermore,
Though storms of heavenly light enfold thee
And a thousand thousand thousand angels stand between
My heart shall find thee there.
And I will forevermore hold your hand in mine.

For love knows no chains:
Not matter, space, nor time,
Nor the fetters of these bodies
Though they corrupt with time.
My heart, my love has been thine
Since the moment we first met.
And it shall always be thine
though I can not hold you, yet.

For love endures the ages
With power immeasurable
Nothing can stand before it
As our Lord Jesus Himself has shown.
And when God, at the proper time,
Doth grant my great desire:
To enter into His holy place
Where dwells thy sacred, hallowed, beloved
Face.
There -
Far Better Shall I Love Thee
And we shall never part again.
