UNTIL WE MEET

My heart in fear and trembling
does entreat Thee, Oh my Lord,
to ever stay close by my side
every torrent help me ford.

My soul does pine to finally know
the fullness of Your Love,
to have You hold me to Your breast
and never let me go, sweet Love.

The earthly ties that bind me
the senses of the flesh,
keep me from rising higher
and once again, I start afresh.

But as long as I keep trying
and not give in to defeat,
each moment I mount higher
till at last the day we meet.

All the pain and struggles
the weeping will then cease,
You’ll wipe the tears from out my eyes
and I’ll know Your love and peace.
