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 forevermore 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 nor pain nor death.
