The Prayer for Love, and the Answer thereof
“O Lord my Saviour, 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 for ever, 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.”
