General (Vol. 1)

Faith, Hope and Love

  1. 1. O perfect love that walks the way
    Which faithful pilgrims tread;
    In doubt and desolation bring
    Us back to what You said;
    Fill us with the resolve to stay
    When we have often fled:
    O perfect love.

  2. O power of faith that lights the way
    Which cynics leave untrod
    Eating the manna every day
    But set against the rod;
    Fill us with purpose not to stray
    Back to the golden god:
    O power of faith.

  3. O patient hope that paves the way
    The self absorbed reject
    Preferring transient display
    To humble self respect;
    Fill us with strength to watch and pray,
    To guard against neglect:
    O patient hope.

  4. O trinity of virtuous light,
    O unity of Grace,
    Transform the perils of the night
    Into a resting place;
    Drown us in the untold delight
    Of Your divine embrace:
    O Trinity.
