                Ransom and Reunion
                         (adapted)

"I will that they be with ME where I am,"
  Thus prayed our Lord before Gethsemane.
'Tis still the one great longing of His heart,
  'Tis still the burden of His earnest plea.

O let us feel the yearning love that seeks
  Reunion with the ones He counts most dear;
No longer loiter on the lighted way,
  Diverted by sin's favor or its fear.

The pain our sins have brought to His [own] heart,
  The separation which those sins have made,
All shall be ended as His precious blood
  Blots out all sin in those for whom He prayed.

      O shall His prayer be answered?
                 Yea. Amen.
           That we may be with Him
             [When] He comes again!  — W.D. Frazee
