Take Care Of Him

" Thou whom I love, for whom I died,
Lovest thou Me, My bride? " —
Low on my knees I love Thee, Lord,
Believed in and adored.

" That I love thee the proof is plain:
How dost thou love again? " —
In prayer, in toil, in earthly loss,
In a long-carried cross.

" Yea, thou dost love: yet one adept
Brings more for Me to accept. " —
I mould my will to match with Thine,
My wishes I resign.

" Thou givest much: then give the whole
For solace of My soul. " —
More would I give, if I could get:
But, Lord, what lack I yet?

" In Me thou lovest Me: I call
Thee to love Me in all. " —
Brim full my heart, dear Lord, that so
My love may overflow.

" Love Me in sinners and in saints,
In each who needs or faints. " —
Lord, I will love Thee as I can
In every brother man.

" All sore, all crippled, all who ache,
Tend all for My dear sake. " —
All for Thy sake, Lord: I will see
In every sufferer Thee.

" So I at last, upon My Throne
Of glory, Judge alone,
So I at last will say to thee:
Thou diddest it to Me. "
