BANISHMENT (BALLADS OF THE REVELATION)
O Thou, by long experience tried
Near whom no grief can long abide
My love! how full of sweet content
I pass my years of banishment!
To me remains nor place nor time
My country is in every clime
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
Could I be cast where thou art not
That were indeed a dreadful thought
But regions none remote I call
Secure of finding God in all
My country, Lord, art Thou alone
Nor other can I claim or own
The place where all my yearnings meet
My law, my love, my joy so sweet
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
I cling to nothing here below
Appoint my journey and I go
Though pierced by scorn, oppressed by pride
Even now, always at my side
No violence done can hurtful prove
To souls on fire with heavenly love
Though men and devils both condemn
My fate does not belong to them
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
In everlasting love I rest
As when I laid upon His chest
All this pain is light and fleeting
If only I can hear His heart beating
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
O Thou, by long experience tried
Near whom no grief can long abide
My love! how full of sweet content
I pass my years of banishment!
To me remains nor place nor time
My country is in every clime
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my soul
He was with me then, He is with me now
They can kill my body, but not my love
