O love divine and golden

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Various Occasions Marriage and the Home Lyrics: 1 O love divine and golden, Mysterious depth and height, To Thee the world beholden, Looks up for life and light; O love divine and gentle, The blesser and the blest, Beneath thy care parental The world lies down in rest. 2 O love divine and tender, That through our homes dost move, Veiled in the softened splendor O holy household love. A throne without thy blessing Were labor without rest, And cottages possessing Thy blessedness, are blest. 3 God bless these hands, united; God bless these hearts made one! Unsevered and unblighted May they through life go on,-- Here in earth’s home preparing For the bright home above, And there forever sharing Its joy where God is love.
