O Lamb of God, Whose Love Divine (EN 2072)

EN 2072 O Lamb of God, Whose Love Divine

Song.2.16

Versi Version 1

1

O Lamb of God, whose love divine

Draws virgin souls to follow Thee;

And bids them earthly joys resign

If so they may Thy beauty see;

2

The saint of whom we sing today

Was faithful to Thy loving call,

And, casting other hopes away,

Took Thee to be her God, her all.

3

To Thee she yielded up her will,

Her heart was drawn to Thine above;

Content if Thou wouldst deign to fill

Thine handmaid with Thy perfect love.

4

Beneath Thy cross she loved to stand,

Like Mary in Thy dying hour,

That blessings from Thy pierced hand

Might clothe her with undying power;

5

With power to win the crown of light

For virgin souls laid up on high,

And ready keep her lamp at night

To hail the Bridegroom drawing nigh.

6

And surely Thou at last didst come

To end the sorrows of Thy bride,

And bear her to Thy peaceful home

With Thee for ever to abide.

7

All glory, Jesu, for the grace

That drew Thy saint to follow Thee;

Grant us too in Thy love a place

Both now and through eternity.
