O God of Loveliness

O God of love­li­ness

O Lord of Heav­en ab­ove

How wor­thy to pos­sess my heart’s de­vot­ed love.

So sweet Thy coun­te­nance

So gra­cious to be­hold

That one

one on­ly glance to me were bliss un­told.

Thou art blest Three in One

yet un­di­vid­ed still

Thou art the One alone

whose love my heart can fill.

The heav’ns and earth be­low

Were fa­shioned by Thy Word

How ami­able art Thou

my ev­er dear­est Lord.

To think Thou art my God—O thought for­ev­er blest!

My heart has ov­er­flowed with joy with­in my breast.

My soul so full of bliss

Is plunged as in a sea

Deep in the sweet abyss of ho­ly char­ity.

O Love­li­ness su­preme

and Beauty in­fi­nite

O ev­er flow­ing Stream and Ocean of de­light

O Life by which I live

My tru­est Life ab­ove

To Thee alone I give my un­di­vid­ed love.
