I may go far,
Farther than the farthest star,
But I will be Thine always!
Devotees may come, devotees may go,
But I will be Thine always.
I may bound over the billows of many lives,
Forlorn beneath the skies of loneliness,
But I will be Thine always.
The world may leave thee,
While playing with Thy playthings,
But I will be Thine always.
Thou mayest take everything away
That Thou gavest me,
But I will be Thine always.
Death, disease, and trials may riddle
And rend me, and yet,
While the embers of memory shall flicker,
Look into my dying eyes
And they will mutely say:
“I will be Thine always.”
My voice may become feeble,
Fail, and forsake me,
And yet,
With the silent, bursting voice of my soul,
“I am Thine always!”
