Till In Heaven We Meet

“All mine are now yours, and yours become mine,”
said Jesus revealed to them as divine,
     praying to the Father
     before his departure.
“In your name protect them all of the time.”

“May they have my joy to make them complete.
While in this world they may face defeat;
     as to you they belong
     keep them safe and on song,
holy and true till in heaven we meet.”

John 17.9-19
