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 forevermore
dost join in one.
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 nor pain nor death.
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.
Hear us, O Father,
gracious and forgiving,
Through Jesus Christ,
Thy co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost,
by all things living
Now and to endless ages
art adored.
