O perfect love,all human tho't transcending,
Lowly we kneel in pray'r before Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which knows no ending,
Whom Thou for evermore dost join in one.
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.
