First Line: THOU THOU BEEST ALL THAT ACTIVE LOVE
Last Line: IF THROUGH MY CHRIST I SAW NOT THEE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
Though Thou beest all that Active Love,
Which heats those ravisht Soules above;
And though all joyes spring from the glance
Of Thy most winning countenance;
Yet sowre and grim Thou'dst seem to me;
If through my Christ I saw not Thee.
