THE CHILD OF NATURE BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD
Thou hast given me Joy by handfuls, Love full measure,
Gladness in earth below and in heaven above;
All was given to spend and nothing to treasure,
Only the joy of Joy and the love of Love.
Gladness in earth below and in heaven above;
All was given to spend and nothing to treasure,
Only the joy of Joy and the love of Love.
So now I am come before Thee empty of hand;
But all my soul is full to the brim with Thee,
Lord and Giver of Love. The pool on the sand
Fills and o'erflows, to merge in the measureless sea.
But all my soul is full to the brim with Thee,
Lord and Giver of Love. The pool on the sand
Fills and o'erflows, to merge in the measureless sea.
