This hymn has a unique tune.

 
 1 

Oh, sacred union with the Perfect Mind,

Transcendent bliss which Thou alone canst give;

How blest are they this Peerless One who find,

And, dead to earth, have learned in Thee to live.

 
 2 

Thus in Thine arms of love, O Christ, I live,

Lost, and forever lost to all but Thee.

My happy soul, since it hath learned to die,

Hath found new life in Thine Infinity.

 
 3 

Go, then, and learn this lesson of the Cross,

And tread the way that saints and prophets trod:

Who, counting life and self and all things loss,

Have found in inward death the life of God.
