Struggle between beloved and duty

Thou hast warned me of my duty,

Which I can't forget,

And Thou sayest, if I listen,

I shall not regret.

For duty's sake, hence I am bound
To this world of grief,

And n'er untill I go to Thee,
Shall I find relief.

Thou didst say when duty's done

I may follow Thee,

What a blessing, O Beloved,

When Thou callest me.
