“O Lord my Savior, love me well,
And love me often and long —
Often, that pure my soul may be;
Well, that so I be fair to see;
Long, and Forever, for Thee apart
Shall be my heart.”
“That often I love thee needs must be,
For I am Love from eternity;
And I love thee well, because I long
For thy love with a yearning deep and strong;
And I love thee long, for no end can be
To My divine eternity.”
