October 10

A H Lord, Lord, if my heart were right with Thine As Thine with mine, then should I rest resigned,

Awaiting knowledge with a quiet mind

Because of heavenly wisdom's anodyne.

Then would Thy Love be more to me than wine,

Then should I seek being sure at length to find,

Then should I trust to Thee all humankind,

Because Thy love of them is more than mine.

Then should I stir up hope and comfort me,

Remembering Thy Cradle and Thy Cross;

How Heaven to Thee without us had been loss,

How Heaven with us is Thy one only Heaven,

Heaven shared with us thro' all Eternity,

With us long sought, long loved, and much forgiven. ROSSETTI
