Hymns - O Joy of God - Текст песни

O joy of God, that comest in the morning,
For thee, unsunned, we wait and eastward gaze,
Lift on our dark the splendours of thy dawning,
Flood all our being in the feast of praise.

O life of God, for whom our spirits hunger,
Except we eat and drink indeed of thee,
With love and faith renewed and hope grown younger
Send us out hence thy saving health to see.

O peace of God, that passest understanding,
Guard thou our heart through every fretting day:
In him who is our Peace, our wills commanding,
Direct our path and perfect all our way.
