[O mine enemy]

O mine enemy
Rejoice not over me!
Jesus waiteth to be gracious:
I will yet arise,
Mounting free and far,
Past sun and star,
To a house prepared and spacious
In the skies.
Lord, for Thine own sake
Kindle my heart and break;
Make mine anguish efficacious
Wedded to Thine own:

207

Be not Thy dear pain,
Thy Love in vain,
Thou Who waitest to be gracious
On Thy Throne.
