And, oh! In after years,
When life is fading fast,
When flow repentant tears —-
Lamenting errors past.
Still shall that holy vow,
Be breathed to Heaven,
And fervently as now,
My heart to Thee be given.
[In Ephesians 5] husbands are compared to Christ; wives are compared to the church. Husbands are compared to the head; wives are compared to the body. Husbands are commanded to love as Christ loves; wives are commanded to submit as the church is to submit to Christ.
John Piper
