Higher Life

O, the One that did create ye
Holy meant ye to be,
And the light that shines within ye
Can lead ye wholly to see.
O, heart forever breaking, 
there behind your tears  
Is a Higher Life awaiting 
to ease all of your fears.   

Open to my vision clearly,
What the higher life requires,
To its truth, its love, its beauty,
My heart and soul aspires.
For the Vision is increasing
In a faith that bids it shine;
Living life alive unceasing
Turns the higher life Divine.

Who would know the price of glory,
In the joys of life would share,
Will awaken to it lowly,
A cross and burden shall bear.  
As the Pattern, so the Practice
"Follow me, the Lie forsake."
Thus the Higher Life is open 
to whomever will partake.
