Representative Text

1 There is a beauty born of love,
More bright than sunshine beaming,
More radiant than the stars above,
Or gold and diamonds gleaming.

Chorus:
Oh, beauty, bright and fair, divine,
The world has known thee never;
Oh, may thy light around me shine,
And guide my way forever.

2 That beauty beams from Zion’s mount,
And glows in Bethle’m’s story,
Illumes Samaria’s sacred fount,
And makes the Cross our glory. [Chorus]

3 That beauty crowns the lowly saint,
Whose heart its light is cheering,
Who, toiling on, shall never faint,
But wait the Lord’s appearing. [Chorus]

4 And when the light of life grows dim,
And fades all earthly pleasure
The beauty of the Lord shall win
An everlasting treasure. [Chorus]
