This World

You maker of a world that is not so, take rest and comfort in another world where peace abides.

This world you bring with you to all the weary eyes and tired hearts that look on sin and beat its sad refrain. From you can come their rest.

From you can rise a world they will rejoice to look upon, and where their hearts are glad.

In you there is a vision that extends to all of them, and covers them in gentleness and light.

And in this widening world of light the darkness that they thought was there is pushed away, until it is but distant shadows, far away, not long to be remembered as the sun shines them to nothingness.

And all their "evil" thoughts and "sinful" hopes, their dreams of guilt and merciless revenge, and every wish to hurt and kill and die, will disappear before the sun you bring.
