Last Line: One moment is infinity.
Subject(s): God; Time
O take me, break me,
Maim or make me,
All shall be joy the same.
One moment hath sufficed to be
The rounding of eternity.
So take me, break me,
Save or forsake me,
Towering God of flame!
My joy burns on for all to see.
One moment is infinity.
