GRAINS OF GOLD
- A CANTICLE. Because, from Thy bright home above, From all its joy and all its love, _ _ My Saviour, Thou didst come to be Our guide, through care and agony, Because Thou didst so gladly take The robe of suffering for our sake, 0 Heart of Love ! I love Thee. Because, from Thy eternal light, Thou earnest to share our lonely night, Because no grief, no pain we bear, Which Thou, sweet Saviour, didst not share. Because the wide world never knew A friend so tender and so true, O Heart of Love! I love Thee. Because, when years are speeding on, When many a hope and joy are gone, And steeper grows the earthly hill, Thy arms of love are round us still. Because at last we turn to rest, Childlike again, upon Thy Breast. O Heart of Love I I love Thee.
Sister 'M. Gertrude.
