WE ARE ALL HE HAS IN THE WORLD

He has no throne
Here; no crown;
No sceptre: we are all
He has in the world.

So - what nourishing!
What cherishing: His daily bounty,
Since we are all
He has in the world.

He has no select
Nation; because His own
Received Him not; we
Are all He has in the world.

By why these pains, these
Chastenings?  He sits, a refiner
And purifier of silver; for
We are all He has in the world.

He will have His throne, His
Chosen people: but seeing His bride
Will remember always she once
Was all He has in the world.
