The Splinters of Thy Love
 
The splinters of Thy love
Lie strewn in many a heart.
These little fragments of Thy love
Descended from far above,
I find spread here and there; and charmed, I start
To seize all and with care collect.
I feel, as I reflect,
That I have certes seen somewhere
Thy whole unbroken love that’s everywhere;
And with devotion strong
I weld my varied collection
Of tiny bits of friendly and parental love in one,
To match it with Thine own.
