Author: | Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830-1894 |
Tune: | O FILII ET FILIAE |
O filii et filiae, Alleluia.
1 O ye who taste that love is sweet,
set way-marks for the doubtful feet
that stumble on in search of it.
Alleluia.
2 Sing hymns of love; that some who hear
far off, in pain, may lend an ear.
Rise up and wonder and draw near.
Alleluia.
3 Lead lives of love; that others who
behold your lives may kindle too
with love, and cast their lot with you.
Alleluia.
