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.
