NO 4 Love Him to Eternity
By Sophy Chen
By night when people fully slept,
And had peacefully both kiss or rest,
My waking eyes were open kept,
And so to lie I found it relaxed.
I met him whom my soul did love,
I looked his eyes sincerely,
He saw me with his warm smile,
In vain I did not hold or cry.
My empty soul he filled with good,
He in his heart put my tears,
My smarting wounds washed in his blood,
And banished thence my sadness and tears.
What to my dear, shall I give,
Who freely has done this for me?
I’ll serve him here whilst I shall live,
And love him to eternity.
