human thought transcending

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 in sacred vow
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 no pain or death
3 Grant them the joy which
brightens earthly sorrow
grant them the peace which
calms all earthly strife
grant them the vision of
the glorious morrow
that will reveal eternal
love and life
