L0VE, unto thine own who camest
Condescending,
Whom thine own received not:
Light, that shinedst in the darkness,
But the darkness
Thy splendour perceived not:
Condescending,
Whom thine own received not:
Light, that shinedst in the darkness,
But the darkness
Thy splendour perceived not:
Oh blessed were they who saw thee,
Who were chosen
First saints of thy saving word:
Blessed they who have not seen thee.
Yet believing
Are called by thee, Lord.
Who were chosen
First saints of thy saving word:
Blessed they who have not seen thee.
Yet believing
Are called by thee, Lord.
Like stars in the night appearing,
Some are shining.
Leaders high of man's desire :
Saints are some, in silent temples
Ever burning.
Bright lamps of Love's living fire.
Some are shining.
Leaders high of man's desire :
Saints are some, in silent temples
Ever burning.
Bright lamps of Love's living fire.
Thou hidest them, Love almighty,
In thy presence
From this world's provoking wrongs
Sheltered in thy quiet haven
Thou dost keep them
From strife of ungodly tongues.
In thy presence
From this world's provoking wrongs
Sheltered in thy quiet haven
Thou dost keep them
From strife of ungodly tongues.
Love, unto thine own who camest,
May thy servants
Thy great love receive aright:
Grant, oh grant that out of darkness
All creation
May thy servants
Thy great love receive aright:
Grant, oh grant that out of darkness
All creation
