[Can I gain by losing Thee?]
If I go not away, the Comforter will not come.
—xvi. 7.
Can I gain by losing Thee?
Yes, if so my state require,
If mine own infirmity
Force Thee, Saviour, to retire:
For when I Thy absence mourn,
Poor with poverty Divine,
Then the Comforter's return
Speaks my Lord for ever mine.
