Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God; Enemies; Heaven


O MINE enemy
Rejoice not over me!
Jesus waiteth to be gracious:
I will yet arise,
Mounting free and far,
Past sun and star,
To a house prepared and spacious
In the skies.

Lord, for Thine own sake
Kindle my heart and break;
Make mine anguish efficacious
Wedded to Thine own:
Be not Thy dear pain.
Thy Love, in vain,
Thou Who waitest to be gracious
On Thy Throne.
