Thou art joined to Me, O Mine own, for ever,
And nearer thou canst not be;
Shall aught on earth or in heaven sever
Myself from Me?”
Between God and the Soul only Love.
’Twixt God and thee but love shall be,
’Twixt earth and thee distrust and fear,
’Twixt sin and thee shall be hate and war,
And hope shall be ’twixt heaven and thee,
Till night is o’er.
