(261-262) Works of Love V
Love Hides the Multiplicity of Sins
Love and Confidence
All love and temporality
Exist in their three times
A wondrous and true totality
They are both part of the divine
What love does it also is
And what it is it does
It all plays out just like this
But what we are scarcely conscious of
Love goes beyond itself
That's in an outward direction
And still it's somewhere else
Love's inward in meditation
In and out are simultaneous
They are one and the same
Nothing there is extraneous
Love happens in God's name
Thus love will make for confidence
For love casts out all fear
This is no coincidence
Love lightens life's atmosphere
The domineering are oppressive
Fear's domination's tool
Endlessly we feel depressive
The heavy pressure's cruel
Love serves as our salvation
When tied to the middle term
Simultaneous in its action
Beloved and lover arrive in turn
