The Love that Clothes Itself in Light
Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light,
stands naked now, despised, betrayed,
receiving blows to face and head
from hands that Love itself has made.
2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun,
collapses, spent, beneath the cross;
the Love that fills the universe,
goes on to death and total loss.
3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary,
rejected, scorned and crucified;
Love hangs in shame, and dies alone,
but Love abased, is glorified.
4 Extinguished with the sun at noon,
Love's light transcends all history;
Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed,
still wraps all heaven in mystery.
5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here;
though Love is absent, Love remains;
where Love is finished, Love begins;
where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns! Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; God Love of Scripture: Galatians 2:20 Used With Tune: APANÁS
