O Perfect Love, All Human Thought Transcending

Author: Dorothy F. Gurney, 1858-1932 Appears in 246 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending, Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne, That theirs may be the love which has no ending, Whom Thou forevermore dost join in one. 2 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 not pain nor death. 3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow; Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife, And to life's day the glorious, unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life. 4 Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving, Through Jesus Christ, Thy co-eternal Word, Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living Now and to endless ages art adored. Amen. Topics: Marriage; Wedding Used With Tune: O PERFECT LOVE

Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812-1896 Appears in 363 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee, Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 As in the dawning o'er the waveless ocean, The image of the morning-star doth rest, So in the stillness, Thou beholdest only Thine image in the waters of my breast. 4 Still, still with Thee! As to each newborn morning A fresh and solemn splendour still is given, So does this blessed consciousness, awaking, Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven. 5 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 6 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought I am with Thee.
