Save Your Soul

Love him that you too may be loved,
Miss him, and you’ll be missed;
Just long to kiss his hand that might
Your longing face be kissed.

Despise him for eternal hate,
And slander him for shame;
Avenging angels long await
Who desecrate his name.

Yet he, without the bounds of time,
Within his place of rest,
Is eagerly awaiting you
To be his honored guest;

For on the Throne encompassing
The seventh firmament
Is One whose love for him exceeds
The sum of all love spent.

Exchange now all your hate for love,
And know the man you don’t,
So that a mercy from above
May save the soul you won’t.
