That I might sooner get to love forever,
Yes, love and love forever and forever,
Jesus, help me to conquer this disease,
This curse of schizophrenia, wretched thing,
(Yes, wretched, horrid, unremitting thing,
Safely to weather every storm and stress,
That come to one who dares the dismal sea,
Buoyed up by God with all His mighty power,
(Most mighty when it is within a flower,)
And make it through to all those golden meadows!
Then shall I love forever and forever,
And serve my gentle, gentle One always.
