SONGS OF EXILE
32
A very great delight?
Thine is redemption's right,
Yea, and the power of sole possession Thine,
My Mighty Love!
My noble love!
I found delight in thee,
O fair one! when I saw thee in thy youth,
And, passing o'er thee, with My bond of truth
Betrothed thee unto Me.
Yet will I gather thee to Mine abode,
The dwelling of My rest,
My habitation blest,
Which I have builded and on thee bestowed,
My noble love!
My Mighty Love!
The faithful envoy haste.
