Classic Poem

Lord God! Thou art alone, I am alone, we are both alone. Flares forth Thy loneliness — a sun for the earth; but mine has burdened my shoulders, like a stone it falls before my feet .
Lord God! Thou comest from Thyself, I come from Thee, we come both from Thee. To Thee eternity is only a day — I carry my days but like borrowed goods — daily awaiting Thy call .
Lord God! Thou art in Thyself, I am in Thee — we are both in Thee. With my misery and anxiety I remain in Thee, I follow Thee, like a slave follows his master — until Thou summonest me .
Lord God! Thou art for Thyself, I am for Thee, we are both for Thee. Be for Thy glory whatever I do, all that I suffer till the Day of Rest. Accept Thou all as an offering, my God, Thou mine Lord!
