O Thou Who Gavest Power to Love (EN 5780)

EN 5780 O Thou Who Gavest Power to Love

1John.4.16

Versi Version 1

1

O Thou Who gavest power to love

That we might fix our hearts on Thee,

Preparing us for joys above

By that which here on earth we see:

2

Thy Spirit trains our souls to know

The growing purpose of Thy will,

And gives to love the power to show

That purpose growing larger still;

3

Larger, as love to reverent eyes

Makes manifest another soul,

And shows to life a richer prize,

A clearer course, a nobler goal.

4

Lord, grant Thy servants who implore

Thy blessing on the hearts they blend,

That from that union evermore

New joys may blossom to the end.

5

Make what is best in each combine

To purge all earthly dross away,

To strengthen, purify, refine,

To beautify each coming day.

6

So may they hand in hand advance

Along life’s path from troubles free;

Brave to meet adverse circumstance

Because their love points up to Thee.
