Thou spirit childly! Once shall find thee That hour, when mildly The Father calls thee. But, in the mean, Endure and labor, with faith serene! [Pg 45] Like Mary, linger, with holy feeling, And pray and listen, at Jesu feet! Like Magdalene, at the cross appealing, See looks of mercy repentance meet! Like John, so cling thee To friend ne'er failing! His love shall bring thee, From stress and ailing, To bliss and freedom, forever nigh, Within His heavenly realm on high. [Pg 46] Well those, who, noble in will, prevailing, Have sought the right, and the kindly felt, Who much have loved, spite of all their failing!
