THE HIGH CALLING

Ps. xlv. 9.

               Child of the Eternal Father,
                    Bride of the Eternal Son,
                                    Dwelling-place of God the Spirit,
                    Thus with Christ made ever one;
                                    Dowered with joy beyond the Angels
                    Nearest to His throne,
                                    They, the ministers attending
                    His beloved one:
                                    Granted all my heart's desire,
                    All things made my own;
                                    Feared by all the powers of evil,
                    Fearing God alone;
                                    Walking with the Lord in glory
                    Through the courts divine,
                                    Queen within the royal palace,
                    Christ for ever mine;
                                    Say, poor worldling, can it be,
                    That my heart should envy thee?
                    

G. T. S.
