Song Lyrics
O Love divine, that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear!
On Thee we cast each earthborn care
We smile at pain while Thou art near
Though long the weary way we tread
And sorrow crown each lingering year
No path we shun, no darkness dread
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near!
When drooping pleasure turns to grief
And trembling faith is changed to fear
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf
Shall softly tell us, Thou art near!
On Thee we fling our burdening woe
O Love divine, forever dear
Content to suffer while we know
Living and dying, Thou art near!
