Love with everlasting love,
Led by grace, that love to know,
Spirit breathing from above,
Thou hast taught me it is so.
O this soul of perfect peace,
O this transport all divine,
In a love which cannot cease, I am
Earth around is sweeter green,
Something lives in every hue
Christless eyes have never seen
Birds with flutter songs o 'erflow
Flowers with deeper beauty shine
Since I know as now I know
things that once were wild
He whispers in my ear, I am
Ah, with what a restful bliss
Christ can fill the loving heart!
Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
curse nor light in gloom decline,
Ah, with water and soft bliss,
Christ can fill the loving heart.
Heaven and earth may fade and flee,
Flesh for mine and gloom decline.
4.8
