E'en thus it is that some, through nie,
The Master's face may never see.

And to have found the Turth, the

I ' li ii i i it il f 1 1 1 whom I thus betray
Yet so it. is that sonic, through nie,
To Heaven's gate may lose the key.
Because, professing his dear name
Whose love is inlinilely great.
My tongue will even friends delaine.
Ami Hashing eyes oft tell of hate
Alas, alas, thai come, through nie.
May hopeless, face eternity!
