GENEVAN PSALM 61. (8 4 7. 8 4 7.) 𝅗π…₯ = 76.

Pseaumes octante trois, Geneva (1551).

Set by Harry Ellis Wooldridge.

Yattendon Hymnal, No. 92.

Love, unto thine own who camest  Condescending, Whom thine own received not:Light, that shinedst in the darkness,    But the darknessThy splendour perceived not:
Oh blessed were they who saw thee,   Who were chosen First saints of thy saving word:Blessed they who have not seen thee,   Yet believing Are called by thee, Lord.
Like stars in the night appearing,   Some are shining, Leaders high of man's desire:Saints are some, in silent temples   Ever burning, Bright lamps of Love's living fire.
Thou hidest them, Love almighty,   In thy presence  From this world's provoking wrongs:Sheltered in thy quiet haven   Thou dost keep them From strife of ungodly tongues.
Love, unto thine own who camest,   May thy servants Thy great love receive aright:Grant, oh grant that out of darkness   All creation May come to thy marvellous light.
