Love, if for nothing else

W. Harling

Love, if for nothing else, grant me this grace,

See how I ask it on this faithful knee,

O show me the pray'r-arches of thy brows

That I may raise my hand, as in God's house,

And clasp the neck of thee.

Love, if for nothing else, grant me this grace,

See how I ask it on this faithful knee,

That just a little moment we may meet,

So I may look once more upon thy face

And break my heart in tears upon thy feet,

Big tears for me and thee!
