Religion
Christ, my Beloved
From Elizabethan Lyrics from the Original Texts, ed. Norman Ault (1928)
Religion
Christ, my Beloved which still doth feed
Among the flowers, having delight
Among his faithful lilies,
Doth take great care for me indeed,
And I again with all my might
Will do what so his will is.
My Love in me and I in him,
Conjoined by love, will still abide
Among the faithful lilies
Till day do break, and truth do dim
All shadows dark and cause them slide,
According as his will is.
