“HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE.”
1 Peter iii. 7.
With all my heart I love thee;
Not less thy love to me.
Yet dare I say to thee,
One Friend still ranks above thee.
Yes, thou art all the nearer,
For Him who yet is dearer.
Not less thy love to me.
Yet dare I say to thee,
One Friend still ranks above thee.
Yes, thou art all the nearer,
For Him who yet is dearer.
And, pleased, the mutual feeling
I heard by thee confessed,—
“Thou dost not love me best:”
Thy full heart so revealing,
That I to Thee am nearer,
Because Thy Lord is dearer.
I heard by thee confessed,—
“Thou dost not love me best:”
Thy full heart so revealing,
That I to Thee am nearer,
Because Thy Lord is dearer.
