Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
O perfect love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in pray'r 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 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.
