As we have seen before;
And by Thy beauty quicken us
To love Thee and adore.
2 ’Tis easy when with simple mind
Thy loveliness we see,
To consecrate ourselves afresh
To duty and to Thee.
3 Our every feverish mood is cooled,
And gone is every load,
When we can lose the love of self,
And find the love of God.
4 ’Tis by Thy loveliness we’re won
To home and Thee again,
And as we are Thy children true
We are more truly men.
5 Lord, it is coming to ourselves
When thus we come to Thee;
The bondage of Thy loveliness
Is perfect liberty.
6 So now we come to ask again,
What Thou hast often giv’n,
The vision of that loveliness
Which is the life of Heav’n. Used With Tune: ST. HUGH Text Sources: Congregational Hymns, by W. Garrett Horder (London: Elliot Stock, 1884), number 826
