Oh, sacred union with the Perfect Mind

Oh

sacred union with the Perfect Mind

Transcendent bliss which Thou alone canst give;

How blest are they this Peerless One who find

And

dead to earth

have learned in Thee to live.

Thus in Thine arms of love

O Christ

I live

Lost

and forever lost to all but Thee.

My happy soul

since it hath learned to die

Hath found new life in Thine Infinity.

Go

then

and learn this lesson of the Cross

And tread the way that saints and prophets trod:

Who

counting life and self and all things loss

Have found in inward death the life of God.
