We feel and see with different hearts and eyes: -- / Ah Christ, if all our hearts could meet in Thee / How well it were for them and well for me, / Our hearts Thy dear accepted sacrifice. / Thou, only Life of hearts and Light of eyes, / Our life, our light, if once we turn to Thee, / So be it, O Lord, to them and so to me; / Be all alike Thine own dear sacrifice. / Thou Who by death hast ransomed us from death, / Thyself God's sole well-pleasing Sacrifice, / Thine only sacred Self I plead with Thee: / Make Thou it well for them and well for me / That Thou hast given us souls and wills and breath; / And hearts to love Thee; and to see Thee, eyes.
