O God of loveliness, 0 Lord of heaven above,
|
How worthy to possess my heart's devoted love.
|
So sweet thy countenance, so gracious to behold
|
That one, one only glance to me were bliss untold.
|
|
Thou art blest Three in One, yet undivided still,
|
Thou art the One alone, whose love my heart can fill.
|
The heavens and earth below were fashioned by thy Word,
|
How amiable art Thou, my ever dearest Lord.
|
|
To think Thou art my God,--O thought forever blest!
|
My heart has overflowed with joy within my breast.
|
My soul so full of bliss, is plunged as in a sea,
|
Deep in the sweet abyss of holy charity.
|
|
O loveliness supreme, and Beauty infinite,
|
0 ever flowing Stream and Ocean of delight,
|
0 Life by which I live, My truest Life above,
|
To Thee alone I give my undivided love.
|
