True heart and wise, that with Love's key
Didst open all life's mystery
And buy life's treasure at the price
Of Love's perpetual sacrifice! The peace that Love finds hid in care;
The strength that love-borne burdens bear;
The hope that stands with love and faith
Serenely facing life and death; The blessing that in blessing lies--
These didst thou know, true heart and wise!
Now God hath added, last and best,
The sudden, glad surprise of rest!
