O PERFECT LOVE
1. O perfect Love,
all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in
prayer before Thy throne,
That theirs may be
the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou forever
more dost join in one.
2. O perfect Life,
be Thou their full assurance
Of tender charity
and steadfast faith,
Of patient hope,
and quiet, brave endurance,
With childlike
trust that fears nor pain nor death.
3. Grant them the
joy which brightens earthly sorrow,
Grant them the
peace which calms all earthly strife,
And to life's day
the glorious, unknown morrow
That dawns upon
eternal love and life.
