He that loses his life shall find it again,
Free of the folly and fear, the sorrow and pain.
He that loses the world, the lure of its gold and its greed,
Shall find the riches of Love that meeteth all human need.
He that leaveth home or friends, to follow where Jesus fared,
Many mansions shall find for himself and his loved prepared.
Nothing of good is lost; no life, no love. But the vain
Shadows shall fade and dissolve, the substance alone remain.
