Dear Shepherd of Thy people, hear
O Love! O Life! Our faith and sight
Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love! O Life! Our faith and sight
Thy presence maketh one;
As through transfigured clouds of white
We trace the noonday sun.
2 So to our mortal eyes subdued,
Flesh-veiled, but not concealed,
We know in Thee the fatherhood
And heart of God revealed.
3 We faintly, hear, we dimly see,
In differing phrase we pray;
But, dim or clear, we own in Thee
The Light, the Truth, the Way!
4 Apart from Thee all gain is loss,
All labour vainly done;
The solemn shadow of Thy cross
Is better than the sun.
5 Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord,
What may Thy service be?
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word,
But simply following Thee. Topics: Christ Brother; Friend; Christ Life; Christ Light; Christ Way, Truth, Life; The Godhead The Son; Fatherhood, of God Used With Tune: SOMERSET
O Love! O Life! Our faith and sight
