I LOVE THE FATHER (III)

Before the worlds were made the Father chose

Sons and I love the Father since I was

Among His chosen ones. And now because

He chose me He has blessed me among those

Whom He has chosen, since, as the wind blows,

His Spirit reached me. Since the Father draws

To Christ I love the Father, and He awes

My soul; all is though Christ who died and rose.

But if I was selected in the past

And blessed here in the present, how much rather

I love the Father since these joys will last:

Among the saints whom He delights to gather

Which all the counsel of His will amassed

Eternally I'll say, “I love the Father”.
