That eye, ever pure and clear, Appraises all beings justly, through love. For me, too, will our Father care, For I entrust heart and soul to him like a child, And even if this were my last morning, Should the Father’s word summon me from the bridal threshold, His eye, pure and clear, Would appraise me justly too, with love.
