˙

There is plentiful redemption

through the blood that has been shed;

there is joy for all the members

in the sorrows of the head.

There is grace enough for thousands

of new worlds as great as this;

there is room for fresh creations

in that upper home of bliss.

If our love were but more simple

we should take him at his word;

and our lives would be all gladness

in the joy of Christ our Lord.

Frederick William Faber (1814–1863)
