Samuel Sebastian Wesley - Now let us see thy beauty, Lord - текст песни (слова)

1. Now let us see thy beauty, Lord,
  As we have seen before;
  And by thy beauty quicken us
  To love thee and adore.
 
 2. 'Tis easy when with simple mind
  Thy loveliness we see,
  To consecrate ourselves afresh
  To duty and to thee.
 
 3. Our ever-feverish mood is cooled,
  And gone is every load,
  When we can lose the love of self,
  And find the love of God.
 
 4. 'Tis by thy loveliness we're won
  To home and thee again,
  And as we are thy children true
  We are more truly men.
 
 5. Lord, it is coming to ourselves
  When thus we come to thee;
  The bondage of thy loveliness
  Is perfect liberty.
 
 6. So now we come to ask again
  What thou hast often given,
  The vision of that loveliness
  Which is the life of heaven.
