Christ's Prayer the Christian's Charter.
Jo. xvii. 20, 24.
“I will, says Jesus, that the souls,
“Thy love to me has giv'n,
“As written in the eternal rolls,
“Of happiness and heav'n:
“Thy love to me has giv'n,
“As written in the eternal rolls,
“Of happiness and heav'n:
“I will that those whom I have lov'd,
“And who have lov'd me here;
“My pattern and my cross approv'd,
“Shall triumph with me there.
“And who have lov'd me here;
“My pattern and my cross approv'd,
“Shall triumph with me there.
“Nor less will I—All who believe
“My word thro' them convey'd,
“Should in that day with them receive,
“The joy thy love has made.”
“My word thro' them convey'd,
“Should in that day with them receive,
“The joy thy love has made.”
What then can hinder, Lord, thy love,
It's counsel to fulfil,
When such thine own design above,
And such thy Father's will?
It's counsel to fulfil,
When such thine own design above,
And such thy Father's will?
