[Lord, make me one with Thine own faithful ones]
Lord, make me one with Thine own faithful ones,Thy Saints who love Thee and are loved by Thee;
Till the day break and till the shadows flee,
188
At one with him who toils and him who runs,
And him who yearns for union yet to be;
At one with all who throng the crystal sea
And wait the setting of our moons and suns.
Ah, my beloved ones gone on before,
Who looked not back with hand upon the plough!
If beautiful to me while still in sight,
How beautiful must be your aspects now;
Your unknown, well-known aspects in that light
Which clouds shall never cloud for evermore.
