Oh, sacred union with the Perfect Mind,

| 1. | Oh, sacred union with the Perfect Mind, |
| | Transcendent bliss which Thou alone canst |
| | give; |
| | How blest are they this Peerless One who |
| | find, |
| | And, dead to earth, have learned in Thee to |
| | live. |
| 2. | Thus in Thine arms of love, O Christ, I live, |
| | Lost, and forever lost to all but Thee. |
| | My happy soul, since it hath learned to die, |
| | Hath found new life in Thine Infinity. |
| 3. | Go, then, and learn this lesson of the Cross, |
| | And tread the way that saints and prophets |
| | trod: |
| | Who, counting life and self and all things |
| | loss, |
| | Have found in inward death the life of God. |
