O perfect Love all human thought transcending
Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne
That theirs may be the love that has no ending
Whom Thou forevermore 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 child-like trust that fears nor pain nor death.

Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife
Add to life s day the glorious unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and life.
