Volume 6 — The Love Of The Pardoned.
Reading edition
"He to whom less is forgiven, the same loveth less." Disciple. "Sweet Lord, 'Tis true thy love no measure knows; And yet thou must agree, A love within my bosom glows Thou canst not feel for me— The love that springs in pardoned hearts With all the joy such love imparts. I long, but why I do not know, That thou, dear Lord, couldst love me so." Master. "My child, Thy brethren are my images. Wherefore I said to thee: Whate'er thou doest unto these Thou doest unto me. Shall I have joy if thou dispense Thy bounty on their need, And if thou pardonest their offence Feel not the loving deed? That which thou doest is divine. Doubt not; their love is also mine!"
