Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
O perfect love, all human tho't 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.
Verse 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 no pain nor death.
Verse 3
Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrows; 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.
