We Seem To Give Them Back To Thee

We seem to give them back to Thee, 0 God who gavest them to us.

Yet as Thou didst not lose them in giving,
So do we not lose them by their return.

Not as the world giveth, givest Thou O Lover of souls.
What Thou givest Thou takest not away,
For what is Thine is ours also if we are thine.

And life is eternal and love is immortal,
And death is only an horizon,
And an horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

Lift us up, strong Son of God that we may see further;
Cleanse our eyes that we may see more clearly;
Draw us closer to Thyself
That we may know ourselves to be nearer to our loved ones who are with Thee.

And while Thou dost prepare a place for us, prepare us also for that happy place,
That where Thou art we may be also for evermore.
