Yattendon Hymnal, No. 92.
Love, unto thine own who camestββCondescending,βWhom thine own received not:Light, that shinedst in the darkness,ββββBut the darknessThy splendour perceived not:
Oh blessed were they who saw thee,βββWho were chosenβFirst saints of thy saving word:Blessed they who have not seen thee,βββYet believingβAre called by thee, Lord.
Like stars in the night appearing,βββSome are shining,βLeaders high of man's desire:Saints are some, in silent templesβββEver burning,βBright lamps of Love's living fire.
Thou hidest them, Love almighty,βββIn thy presence βFrom this world's provoking wrongs:Sheltered in thy quiet havenβββThou dost keep themβFrom strife of ungodly tongues.
Love, unto thine own who camest,βββMay thy servantsβThy great love receive aright:Grant, oh grant that out of darknessβββAll creationβMay come to thy marvellous light.
