For Thee and Thy sure love we yearn,
Light of the living and the dead!
Thou healest, Lord, the heart’s sore strife;—
With Thee, with Thee our dearest dwell—
Crowned, in Thy grace, O Prince of life,
With peace and joy ineffable.
And ours, at last, the home above!
We, too, from sin and sorrow free,
Shall share that life of cloudless love
For evermore with them and Thee.
